    Drawing of Old Mold

    Would anyone have a dimensioned drawing of an old Lyman/Ideal mold - #401452?
    This was designed by Gordon Boser for use in the 38-40. I came across a few bullets cast with one at a gun show and would like to have Tom @ Accurate cut me a mold.
    Trying to find one of these is almost impossible especially in multiple cavity.
    Thank you. gjh

    Thanks guys!
    A friend was able to find a couple bullets cast from this mold and I have sent them to Tom. Hopefully the bullets are of good enough quality that he can measure and cut the mold.

    Try being informed instead of just opinionated.
    Sometimes it is better to just smile and walk away.
    You can always tell a Handloader, by his unceasing quest for spent brass.

    If you have a bullet, send it to him and see if he will copy it ???

    Greetings,

    I have an Optical Comparator and can measure/reverse engineer the bullet for you.

    Cheers,

    Dave

    If no one comes up with a drawing let me know. I think I have the mold hidden away some place.
