Great link worthy of a sticky!

GONRA sez - WOW! Plagiarized all this into a New File. Mucho Thanx Buckshot!
Wish this was in some type of .pdf format or something we could down load.
I just clicked on that link and my security software blocked it because of a Trojan.
Ive been using that page for the past few years. Never had a problem, but I use a MacBook.
The link has been a bookmark of mine fore many years. Excellent references

..............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

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.
Enjoyed reading about these old mold designs and their uses. Thanks for posting.
WOW...thanks for posting, lets see if i can make a pdf out of it.
