Hoch Molds

[bishopgrandpa]

There is an auction in town tonight with many molds including 3 Hoch nose pour molds, two are for 45-70, the other I believe for a .30 caliber. Is there much of an interest for them? They have been well kept. Also there were several home made and altered molds that were interesting and bizarre to look at. One with 3" thin metal handles.

Some of the best ever made

My Hoch 38-55 mold is great in every way. Someone will want that 45-70 mold, perhaps many.

[Castaway]

Offer him $5 for the bundle and I’ll double your investment

They were great molds! I had a number of them for 375's and 458's.

I have some and don't hesitate to buy more when I come across them

Came home with 3 Lyman, 1 BACO ,2 Hoch and 2 Paul Jones. 3 45-70 & 2 38-55. Lyman are 2 45-70 & one RB.

Wow…Paul Jones…a name from a long time ago.


I bought a Star reloader from him.

Good on you! Suggest you go out and buy a lottery ticket while your luck is hot

Score times eight! Names like Paul Jones, Hoch, Brooks, and Darr among others are slowly fading into the past. I wonder what will happen to my Brooks 32 mould for my 32 Dell and my two Darrs for my 40 Maynard when I’m gone. People are just forgetting these old pros, and it’s a major pity.

When Hoch made a mold for one of his barrels it was a plumb wonderful.

and he loved to talk cast boolits when I would see him out at the range. Always liked talking to him. He lived about 3 miles from me
