Lyman 367 for 222?

[DLCTEX]

I picked up a mold yesterday on Ebay for 17.99 including shipping. Was a "buy it now" bid. The photo was a little fuzzy, but it appears to be a round nose, unknown weight. Seller said they used it to cast for 222. Lyman 367. Anyone familiar with this one?

I found a 228367 for the 22 savage high power. It takes a gas check and is a Lovern style boolit.

No weight listed

dale:

Yes, it is #228367, a spire-point gas-check mould for the old .22 Savage High Power. In Ideal #2 metal it should run 59-60 grs. It was specced to cast 0.229", but with Lymen you can never tell. If you pan-lube it first to fill the grroves, you MAY be able to size it down OK to 0.225" for the .222. I think it was at one time also available "short-cherried" to give a plain-base weighing about 50 grs.
