Howdy--
I need some help! I'm new to all this casting stuff. I have recieved an older mold for a cast bullet--but I am not sure for what size of bullet it is for? Does anyone might know what it is, or how I can go about having it sized?
Ok--the information I found on the handle and on the actual mold is--
Belding & Mull--#311169 B&M x
Can anyone help me with this? thanks!

you have B&M handles, thats amazing I have 3 B&M molds and no handles and the slots are dished out ,not flat so regular handles will not fit and I won't grind the slots to fit lesser mold handles.
You have a .30 cal mold I don't have list of B&M molds but someone here probably does.

With wheelweight or #2 alloy (5% tin), it should nominally drop a 169gr. bullet that is .311" in diameter. However, I don't know which alloy B & M used as a standard.
