C W Brockway mould

I have what appears to be a tapered 25cal, plain base mould marked C W Brockway.  The blocks are iron, but have a brass insert in which the cavity was cut.  Does anyone know of C W Brockway?

Chuck Brockway lives in Southern California, and was the man to beat at schuetzen matchs from the late '70's to early '90's, at which time he became interested and active in BPS and BP Long Range.  He was second place behind Dave Stahl at the very first Coors Nationals.

Chuck worked with Barry Darr while Darr was at SAECO, and became a first class mould maker.  His latest work in schuetzen was with a 25-20 SS, and the mould in question was probably cut at than time.

I have since discovered that he wrote an article on the 25-20SS in Handloader Magazine #196.  I recall reading that article, but can't locate the magazine at the present.  It may well have been his article which prompted me to have a 25cal barrel made for one of my rifles.  Certainly, I would like to re-read that article.

I've been away from casting for sometime, but fired up the pot earlier today.  Once that 25cal mould was up to temperature, it cast and dropped beautiful bullets.  My 25cal barrel may now, finally, be shot.
