Yup, he did like the strange stuff. The picture below was every tool he needed to reform Velodog brass into centerfire 14 Jones (There was a rimfire and a centerfire 14 Jones version). I also have his custom mold that makes 4 tiny little bullets that were used in different versions of his 14 Jones ammo. I've never seen a bullet mold like it, 2 bullet types are poured from the top side of the mold and 2 from the bottom with sprue plates on both ends.I didn't realize it came from Bob Haleys stuff or I never would have suggested it was a cap. All of Bobs stuff had to do with obsolete ammo in some flavor or another.
Cast Bullet Engineering makes some REALLY big shotgun slug molds. You might want to look and see if they have anything like this.I found this when I was looking through a very old box of bullets and at first, I thought it was a 4 gauge slug but the dimensions are too big (Nearly 1.5 inches at the band). Does anyone have a clue what it belongs to?
I'll go you one better for weirdness. I used to have a Lyman "double 4" mould. (That's what the Lyman receipt called it--the original purchaser had it all in the box with the mould. The new mould.)I've never seen a bullet mold like it, 2 bullet types are poured from the top side of the mold and 2 from the bottom with sprue plates on both ends.
There was a guy on Auction Arms with a similar 45 ACP mould. 4 cavities, one 452374, one 452460, one 452488, and one 452389. I wanted it, but couldn't justify the purchase price at the time. Now I feel deprived. I think Lyman also did a 4 cavity set for the Thompson Center Collectors as well at one point.I'll go you one better for weirdness. I used to have a Lyman "double 4" mould.

IIRC the "top" was cut for 429421, 42798, a really cool WC like the one Grinnel called a "flying oil drum", and 454424. The "bottom" was cut for 357 bullets: 358156, Keith's SWC, a full wadcutter, and the classical 158 RN. Cherry #s were stamped on the sides like a billboard.
