First off you guys have all been of great help to me. I am by no means an exspert but feel I have a gained a vast amount of knowledge on more than casting, along with sparking my interest in vintage milsurps.
So once again I may have overlooked this, so if I have please direct me. Also if there is some way to direct this to the cast pics would be nice.
#1 What are the letters before or after the mold #?
Example I just picked up a 358429AX. What does the AX stand for?
#2 I still find a few missing bullets from Lyman on the cast pics. Is there some
place I can find these? Example, 314299.
#3 I am looking for pics of the Saeco and RCBS lines. These are handy to look at
when reading on some of the subjects, thoughts and ideas found here.
Example "The more I look at it the more i think that Saeco #315 is the best
design (potentially) for a target bullet"
Have NO idea what it looks like, my catalog shows #'s but no picture.
Just curious as I have been on the search for THE bullet for use in the 03 and the Krag. I have been reading what I can on this subject and the above questions came up. I figured if I didn't find much on the above others were having the same questions as I.
Just ran across the 358429AX last week at a shop I stop at once or twice a year. The fellow made the comment to the effect that he had some old ones with holes in both ends. Fellow bought them all to make fishing weights with,OMG. Comment was also made that CB's were only good for really mild pistol loads. I still have not used the GB 6 banger of the 358429, will be interesting to check the two against each other.
