    I don't know about that! Malwarebytes says there's a Trojan on that page.

    ..............I just went there again without issue. I am no computer guy but I'm tickled when I click the O and the N button this infernal contraption DOES fire up, and when I click one the link in the post, there I go without issue. Just thought I'd add this that I'd copied:

    The following is a collage of the 1897, 1900, and 1929 Ideal Catalogs, the Lyman ‘1958 Handbook of Cast Bullets, Edward S. Farrow’s American Small Arms (1904), the “Lyman and Ideal Bullet Mold Table”, on http://www.three-peaks.net/bullet_molds.htm, “Ideal/Lyman Cherry Numbers and Weights off of the CastPics site on http://www.castpics.net/ (PDF’d by George Carlson), and some input from fellow Cast Bullets forum members.

    My regrets to those having problems. I'm simply absolutely giddy if this thing turns on and no smoke comes out.

    ...........Buckshot

    Buckshot, I hope all your kids and grandkids are born with all new clothes on! (How's that for an old compliment? Like me, yars & yars ago)
    I had been trying to find data on a dozen or so moulds I have for literally YEARS, and never got a clue. I have no idea what prompted me to sign on here, as I haven't been on the site since 2015!
    BUT YOUR LIST HAD EVERY ONE OF THEM! Thanks you, thank you, thank you, and thanks again!

    I will will wind up selling them soon, probably on fleabay. But, here is a list if anyone is interested, send me a PM, 'cause it will be a while. My "round-Tuits" are gettin oblong

    Manufacturer Mould # Bullet Dia #Cav w/Handles Material Calibers: Quantity Bullet Weight
    Rapine 403250 0.403 2 Y Steel .40-60 Win 1 250 gr
    Ideal 357446 0.357 1 Y Steel .38 Spl/.357 Mag 1 162 gr
    Lee 358495 0.358 2 Y Alum .38 Spl Wadcutter 1 148 gr
    Lyman 452460 0.452 2 N Steel .45 Auto/Auto Rim 1 165 gr
    Lyman 3118 0.311 2 N Steel .32-20 1 115 gr
    Lyman 356402 0.356 1 N Steel .356 (9mm) 1 120 gr
    Lyman 452488 0.452 1 N Steel .45 1 190 gr
    Lyman 2660169 0.400 2 N Steel .40 1 240 gr
    Winchester 40-82 0.407 1 Y Steel .40-82 Win 1 240 gr

    I hope that is readable. I want $55 apiece for them, as it costs over $ 15 to ship. Plus they ARE kinda rare.
    Thanks AGAIN, Buckshot! YOU get $5 off any!

    The two links Buckshot lists here have been references for me for the last several years. Use them often to look up molds I am not familiar with.

    Finally created a cheat-sheet of the molds I have and the ones I want to look at that I keep in my wallet. Has netted me a couple of real bargains at shows when I could be sure the mold on the table was one that I was looking for without having to try to look it up on my phone (reception in those buildings is often spotty at best).
    Chance favors the prepared mind.
