Irv send me a couple to cast for him. One was marked ".375" but it's no .375. I get about 9mm or .38 and what an odd tail on it! It almost looks like something else snapped on the bottom. Maybe he was experimenting with a bottail? The nose profile makes me thing semi-auto pistol.

We did get the .375 mould he probably thought it was. A classic dandy. New and never used.

Irv also got a HUGE .358/280 gr. RNGC for the times you need to absolutely blow the crap out of something with a .35! WOW. The smaller bullet is a 204 gr. RCBS that I also picked up for my .350 Legend.

Gary sent me a couple of bonus moulds that will need some work, sprue plates made, handle pins repaired etc. One is a .358" that is hefty and has a nice meplat. It will do nicely for .357, Maximum, or .350 Legend. The other is a 250 gr. Trunicated flat point that looks set up for a semi-auto but with gas check for high performance. Perhaps for the .45 Win. mag. It would do great for the .450 Bushmaster.

Lastly one I didn't figure was a .311 mould Looky here! It's for a heeled .32 Colt! Rare as hen's teeth. In all a very interesting and fortunate haul.
