Go to the bottom of this page. Click on Castpics. On the left side is a directory. Go to Mold Reference and click on Cramer. Should give you what you want.

Thanks Wayne. Any Idea what a Squib Gas check is?

[Char-Gar]

Cramer 45 is their offering of the famous "Squib" bullet named after a fellow by that name in Lima Ohio. It was very propular before and just afer WWII with Cramer, Lyman 311413) Belding and Hensley and Gibbs making molds.

The general feeling is the bullet offers very fine accuracy at velocities less than 1,500 fps. I have this mold by all makers as well as the Cramer 46 which is a short base version for use in the short necked 300 savage. Thus far I have achieved only mediocre accuracy with the 46 and the 45. But hopes springs eternal.

They use just regular 30 cal gas checks.

Chargar, Thanks for the education. The knowledge here is so amazing.

Also, Cramer was the predecessor to Saeco molds, now Saeco-Redding.
