I'm not sure about the spelling of his last name but I'm looking for a SWC he designed for the 38/40 that resembles a Keith bullet. Will buy/trade.

I don't have one to offer, but at least you now have a mould number to search for.

Best of luck!

Not sure what firearm you're going to shoot this in, but be aware, my Colt Lightning in 38/40 wanted a bullet that was .406 in diameter. Admittedly, the bore had been abused with the use of black powder and no cleaning (or at least - not enough!), but since it had been around as of 1891, I gave it a pass and cast what it wanted!

358156 is the Ray Thompson design as is the 429244 and the 429215, IIRC, the Boser in 44 is 429460? and the two copies I have shot did not compare in grouping with the 421. Shorter nose and smaller top bands that were slightly undersized.

My screen name is 358156 HP, that's where the reference to the Thompson mould came from. OP is looking for a specific out of print Boser mould and I looked it up for him to make his search a little easier.

I do also have a 429460, but have never cast with it. I bought mine because it has a factory marking error. The 429460 has a reputation for being challenging at times.

RNFP . 175-180 gr I think . I've not cast it . I had an LBT but it didn't shoot any better than the TLTC 6 banger and I had some silly ...... No banter . Sorry .
