Wish I did, I've been looking for one. They were originally meant for the 38 S&W. Other than that, I can't help, sorrry. Billy

They're pretty rare. I've never seen one and I've been trading for moulds for years. According to Jon, they were made in two weights......140 and 155 grains.....round nose./beagle

i would say i have the 140 grain. it weighs 146 using ww. got a single cav on evil bay. guy that sold it was in canada. he usually has some unique molds. he had a 452400 single cav that i wanted real bad but it went for some crazy money, like 65 bucks. i just used 3 gr of bullseye to start. haven't made it to the range yet to test though.

I also have this mold in a single cav design.

What are you shooting this in?

Lots of 38 S&W guns are a tad on the weak side and 3.0 grains Bullseye might be a bit rough on a top break gun.

I have an H&R made 1940's that I shoot 2.2 grains Bullseye in with this boolit and it shoots to point of aim for me.
