Went by a local shop this morning and picked up a couple moulds the owner picked up in a buyout deal. He had about six different ones but only two for 38/357. I got two different moulds and one also had a set of handles,I gave $50 out the door for the lot. The moulds need a little cleaning but nothing that will affect the quality of the bullets they cast.
One of the moulds is the Lyman #358477 150 gr. SWC the other one #357443 160 gr. is no longer in production I think it was dropped from the lineup around 1960 from what I can find out,it was the first mould that Ideal/Lyman designed for the 38/357 mag. in the mid 1930's so I got a little history in the mold and the previous owner left the last bullets he cast in the mold.
All my Lyman manuals have data past and present for the #358477 but nothing on the #357443 anyone have any experience with the 443 bullet?
Here is a pic of one of the old cast from each mould. No telling how old they are.
