help to id 2 molds

[maynerd]

Hello this is my first post


I found 2 slightly used lyman molds at a local gun shop today and am having a hard time figuring out which cal. and boolit weight they are

the first mold is (35891) not 358091
I thinh that this is a .358 dia. mold used for 38/357 mag. It also appears to be the wadcutter.

the second is just the blocks #311466g
I have no idea on this one maybe .30 rifle

any help would be great/ I was able to get both for $15, I am not casting as of yet but for that price I could not pass them up

35891 148 grain wadcutter 35 cal pistol boolit.

311466 150 grain Lovern style boolit, 30 cal. Nice shooting boolit. I use this one a lot.

Thank you for the help.

I do have a use for the 35 cal but have to figure out if anyone I know needs .30 cal boolits

Maynerd:

The #358(0)91 is all the same bullet; Lyman added the zero a few years back so all the catalog numbers would have six digits, to keep the computers happy. It was a bevel-base wadcutter introduced in 1962, and is still in the line. No. 311466 was - as David says - the medium-weight in the "Loverin" series #311465-66-67, introduced in 1951 and dropped in 1998, to our regret. If you don't need it, you should have no problem finding a home for it here.

And WELCOME to the crew!!

thank you
I was haveing problems with that (0), I figured that they added the (0) in there for the newer molds, but thanks again for the conformation.

I guess now I need to round up the rest of the equipment and start casting
hopefully by christmas
