browser900Help I D this mold
I have an Ideal mold number 360271 S . It appears to be 150 gr or so, plain base, semi wadcutter, with two grease groves. It is not listed in my books. What cartridge was this bullet designed for?

browser900Thanks TrapperP
It is the bullet on the left, and I cast a bullet and it was 148 grains. The article answered any questions I had. I will give this bullet a try the next time I reloade.
