I recently acquired this old Ideal mold, While I do really like the old Ideals, I wouldn't have bought this one, since I have a NOE copy of this design in plain base, BUT it was priced so cheap, handles included...also, I have a container of old GCs that didn't have a use, but figured they'd fit this old bullet...and they do.
I just did some test casting with it, using a scrap alloy similar to COWW and found out that the Sprue side cavity is sticky as all get out. I can't see any burrs or damage with my eye...but it needs some help of some kind? These 20+ bullets were all I cast, due to have to 'pick' the bullets out of the cavity.
