Lost my mould. Or maybe just my mind.

Glad you got it figured out. Could have been a lot worse... you could have swapped off the Lyman mould and not had any idea what it was from!

I have yet to swap or sell a mould. Course I have been casting only since 2019.
Even though I have acquired a goodly amount of .35 ish moulds. I am enamored with them all so far. Shoot a lot of 9mm,38, 357, .380. Most of the moulds have a sentimental connection. I would only ever let them go on here.
Of course hereby goes the 38 in my avatar name.

Yep, I bought one of the moulds Steve was selling. Then, right after he retired, I posted a want-to-buy Lyman 452374 and he gave me a single-cavity. A short time after that he died. Sad . . .

I gave the mould to Glasparman/Mike.

Among many other awesome items Michael!

I will take care of that mould like it was my own child!

Not that it means anything, to a future Oklahoman, but my paternal grandmother was born in the Indian Territories, my paternal grandfather was born in Italy and died in Oklahoma, and my father was born in Oklahoma.

It’s funny how things come up, I was going through all my moulds a couple nights ago, and looking through I have a handful I bought from Mr. Steve, so I have had him on my mind last couple of days. It actually worked out where I was up close to his home and I made a trip over to pick up the molds. I sat and talked with him and his wife for a couple of hours, truly good people. I was digging through the box of stuff I had purchased and there was one extra in there, it was a 311-466 that has been hollow pointed. He told me to see if I could do anything with it that it never cast well for him, so he just decided to throw it in and let me try it. I can’t get it to do well either, the noses just won’t fill out. Think the pin needs to be reformed slightly, anyway. I’ll never sell that one. As I was leaving Mr. Steve said let’s run down to the barn a minute. We went to the barn and he gave me dang near 80 pounds of clean COWW in 1 pound ingots. I’m still using some of that alloy today.

Ian, you and Mitty are right, he is missed.
