308243 IDEAL 8 gang mold and Rollingblock rifle

[moodyholler]

Picked up an old roller in 30 US Army, 1903 barrel dated 1917, and an IDEAL 8 gang mold 308243. ANyone know the specifics of this mold? Cannot find it on the mold reference table. I am curious to shoot it some. The Gentleman gave me data from LYMAN #17 to load by. Thanks, moodyholler

I've got a number of old Ideal manuals from the 30's and 40's, but none of them show that number. I see 308241 and 308244, but no 308243. Maybe it's a special number for the 6 gang. You might have to cast some and weigh them to find out more.-Vall

I'll wager that you got that from Fllodgate,who got it from me!

Jeff, I got it from Jim Webb. Vall the blocks are marked 308245 and the sprue plate is marked 308243. Later, JAP
