Anyone have any info (diameter, weight) on H&G #5 and H&G #20 molds?

Check with Ballisti-Cast who is the successor to H&G and uses their designs. They deliver H&G molds that are as nice as the originals!

ca_reloader, Go to http:/castpics.net and scroll down to Hensley & Gibbs, then click on it. You'll find a sheet with many of the designs/calibers they produced. ...Maven

ca_reloader I think you will find that those two moulds are not listed in the H&G info because I feel that they are very old. H&G didn't produce rifle bullet moulds for many of the last years that they were in busines other than for the 30 carbine cartridge.

Are these the two moulds on e-bay? I too had looked at them and wondered about the cal. and the weight.

I have a way that you might find out and that is to go to handloads.com and go to the cast bullet forum and post the question. Wayne Gibbs hangs out there occasionally and might know the answer and reply. Wes

These two are NOT in my H&G catalogue so I e-mailed Wayne Gibbs and asked. I'll let you know what I find out.
