HP mold with no HP thingee

[218bee]

I bought a box of "junk" at an auction and found inside a IDEAL 358 156 mold much to my suprise. Looking at a printout of some of Lymans molds I see this one listed as a 155gr SWC GC. Well, mine looks like picture except has the "hole" from bullet tip to end of mold where I assume one would insert the thingee to make a hollow point bullet? There is a "pin" on mold bottom and a screw that I assume holds the thingee in place. I do not own any hollow point molds so am not sure. Don't know if this was factory or home made looks original to me. Would I be able to get the thingee somewhere?? I wonder if I had a Lyman modern hollow point mold if the thingee would fit?? Any ideas??

Best thing is to send a PM to Buckshot and tell him what you have, he will probably need you to send the mold to him so that he can properly fit the pin to the mold.

I had a similar issue. I sent the mold to Erik and he mad me a new handle and set of pins. Here is his website:
