Looks like a H&G 503
well, it has the large lube groove and squareish ... perhaps this one is the ideal 429421.... i dont believe it to be the heath target 429336 due to the larger lube groove. but what do I know.....
and I believe the H&G mould was the 503???
Looks like the Keith 429421

I think it's a Lyman 429421. Not the original but modified with the smaller front band. Still retaining the square lube groove though.
Frank. I choose to name it Frank.
Me too. I would also name him George. I would not squeeze or pet him, though.Quote:

Again thank you to all of you. Your time is appreciated.

Harry as in dirty
Why stick with something plain for a name?
How about "Beelzebub the Slayer" or "Bartholomew the Battering Ram":smile:
Elmer's Spawn #44, Elmer was a busy man.
It may be RCBS, the front driving band doesn't look wide enough. But it's not the Lyman 429421. Lyman's version of the Keith Type uses a very narrow front driving band, and rounded lube grooves. Elmer got upset at Lyman for modifying his bullet design. Which was wide front band and squared lube grooves.Quote:

Looks like more of a 'Clyde' to me.
Not a 429336. That one don't have a crimp groove or at least mine don't./beagle

It is a Hensley and Gibbs 503. Funny isn't it.
Thanks for the heads up. I thought all H&G 503 were three equal driving bands. When I am lookin on ebay I'll be looking close.
Maybe you missed this conversation?Quote:

Nice looking bullet , frost not needed , as to being spoiled by good molds that is a fact NOE MP and Arsenal are all on shelf along with others I do not feel left out on quality compared to H&G , a good mold and one that is accurate is not dependent on name .
So, unless I am not interpting your post correctly, you are saying as long as the bullet shoots well brand, number, name is unimportant. Am I correct or incorrect in reading your post?Quote:

Interpreting posts is sometimes a strange thing as one knows what one is thinking as typing but it does not always come out the same to others reading it , I am not a collector of molds or reloading shooting stuff , it is all for the shooting and sooner or later I may go back to loading 44 , and then the bullets already cast will get loaded and new ones cast .
Original ideal 429 421 as Elmer designed it in 1928.
We should name him Elmer !!
"Clyde"? Im not seeing it, looking closely at the dainty narrow top band with the heavier base band, Definitely a "Bonnie"!Quote:
