Back in the 70's I picked up an Ideal mould #358495 and used it for my own loading and later, in the 80's, for my ammo business when a dealer and class 6 manufacturer. That old Ideal two hole mould turned out likely a half ton or more back in the day as they say. I still cast and shoot the 358495 today as it's an accurate projectile.
My question now is the full wadcutter a thing of the past due to the increased use of heavyweight SWC's in pistols? I see here there are some folks mentioning full wadcutter casting and loading, but not as much as big heavy rounds appear in posts and replies. And the mould I have is yet another discontinued one. I suspect because of the flat base as opposed to the current Lyman wadcutter with the beveled base.
Comments gentlemen?
