WTS - H&G, Rapine and other molds, case gauges.

[stubshaft]

I am thinking of another project and as such have decided to sell off some of the molds and tools I no longer use. All item(s) are PLUS shipping. I'll take Paypal F&F, Paypal (+4%) and/or USPS Postal Money Order. I have an abundance of molds and gun related items so am not really interested in any trades. Thank you in advance for looking.

1. Old Lee single cavity round nose hollow-point mold: $30.00 + S/H (MFRB $15.50)***SPF***



2. Lyman 311466 single cavity, 150 gr. GC. I have had this for years and have never cast with it. It is missing the attaching screws, but looks like it has never been used: $35.00 + S/H (SFRB $8.50)***SPF***



3. Hensley and Gibbs #73 4 cavity mold. Casts a 145 gr. truncated nose PB bullet. This mold comes with the handles and it is in great condition: $150.00 + S/H (MFRB $15.50)***SPF***




4. Midway and Forster case/cartridge case length gauges. There are a total of seven pieces. Three are Midway Cartridge Overall Length gauges (45 Colt, 44 Special and 9mm). The four remaining are Forster case length gauges (223/5.56, 38 Special, 357 Magnum and 44 mag) Sold as one lot only: $95.00 + S/H (SFRB $8.50)



5. Hensley and Gibbs #130 4 cavity mold. Casts a 185 gr. 45 cal. SWC bullet. This was the gold standard for bullseye shooters and still performs well today. This mold comes with handles and is in great condition: $150.00 + S/H (MFRB $15.50)***SPF***




6. Rapine 585315 hollow base minie ball mold with integral hollow base pin and handles. I used to shoot it out of a Navy Arms Zouave that had a bore diameter of .579". I sold the rifle so no longer need the mold: $80.00 + S/H ($15.50 MFRB)***SPF***

What does the Rapine mold (No. 6) drop as with soft lead? It's a .585 mold and you state you used it in a ..579 bore - which if it drops at .585 as it should - it would require sizing down minimum of .578 - a total of .007 smaller? Some of the early Zouaves that I have seen had bores as large as ,588. I have a larger size bore Zouave barrel in the rack that this might work in but need some clarification on what the actual Minies from this mold drop at. Thanks.

I honestly do not remember what it drops. I have none of the bullets that I had cast from it as I sold that rifle over ten years ago and no longer have any of my notes on the loads for it (I gave them to the guy that bought it).

Thanks stubshaft - will take a pass on it then.
