Bag mold

(1/1)

No Powder:
Not sure, but am thinking this is an old bag mold. Does the #150 on the handle mean that 150 balls this size would weigh 1lb.? [ Invalid Attachment ]

Bigsmoke:
Yes, it sure could be a bag mould.
150 balls per pound would equal a 150 bore rifle.
So, probably not.
From the limited view of the cavity, I would guess a .32 or .36 maybe?
It looks like the sprue opening is almost as big as the ball cavity.
150 is probably a model number or some such thing.

No Powder:
Thanks John. I think you're right about it being a 32 or 36 . One day soon I'm going to try it and see what size balls drop out of it. They might work in my limb bacon rifle.
