I'm looking for a reference / catalog of molds made by various makers over the century. I thought it was on this forum but I can't find it.

Check this out it may have some info you can use. Posts #3 a PDF file and #4 a redirect to another file.

I've been thinking about starting a database of molds, searchable by part no, mold no, bullet weight, bullet diameter, groove type, etc, maybe with photos, diagrams, etc. Just been too busy to get it started.

If I did such a thing, what info would be useful in there, and what kinds you f things would you want to sort and filter by?
