Neat Unknown Mould

[jimkim]

I saw this on FB. I asked the OP to post it here. I can't find it, so I guess he didn't. Anybody know the manufacturer? I really like the design. There are no markings on the mould. Thanks. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210207/226802b14d3af5b26b8404f1fb1df3bf.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210207/1ffd8c892e8520b7fda0f300d61c2e6b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210207/cfdb75bdeb80815fd4a7f9296c90b677.jpg

Interesting, looks like a brass mould with captive hollow point pins, Lyman handles, not that that's of any use as to ID'ing the mould.

I'm no expert but those screws might need replacing...

Looks like it may be a good design/manufacturer. Cast any yet? Size/weight? When I see screws like that I closely inspect the entire tool. Anybody that would mess up plain slot head screws like that ain't too bright and might even use the mold for a mallet (In high school metal shop they were called "Privative Pete". The kind of moron that uses a screw driver for a cold chisel or pry bar, and their favorite wrench was a pair of Vise Grips)...

I haven't seen it on here, so I decided to ask about it.

I've never seen exactly that style of sprue cutter, and the carrier for the hollow point pins is kinda strange too... a little like the principle used by RCBS but still different. I'd be interested to know who made it too!

I'd also like to know how it casts and what caliber and weight the bullets are.

Since it looks like Lyman handles, I am going to guess Yankee. From what I understand, they made Ideal/ Lyman style molds out of brass.

Never heard of one with three cavities, or an HP option; but that my have been a later addition.

I imagine getting a stuck bullet off the pins is quite a job.

I resemble that statement.

FroggieAccording to the owner, it cast 0.358" 148(ish) grain HBWC's.

I remember Primative Pete. The teacher was pretty anal about not using a chisel as a screw driver as I remember. Mr Withers I think was his name.

Looks like a Saeco to me!
