What do you guys think of Ohaus bullet moulds? I can't seem to find any information on this particular 2-cav, other than the fact it's a .429 240gr SWC gas-check design.
Good? Bad? Ugly?

Great molds (IMHO) Now sold as RCBS Just wish they offered 4 cavity GW

That was their answer for the Thompson 429-244. Ohaus bought one of the older mold manufacturers, though I don't recall which one (Lachmiller?), and then in the mid-70's sold their mold line to RCBS. I have said many times that if they had made 4 cavity molds, I would have never owned anything else. The 2 cavity RCBS MOLDS are as good as anybody's. The Ohaus molds are much the same.
