Does it make nice round bullets?

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Those old Winchester molds are very high quality. I have several I use on a regular basis and they cast as good as the best modern molds.

I like those old molds. Have 8 or so of the old Ideal reloading tools, most all with the mold on the end. Even have a couple with the original decapping pins that are usually missing. 
I've used most of them for bullet making, and they cast good enough for casual shooting. 
Also have a pair of the old Winchester single cavity molds that are marked 32-165. One of them has the base band bored out to about .328" diameter so it's not usable for cartridges. I figure it was made for breech seating use.

Same goes for these early Ideal molds. I have numerous Ideals I cast with also, and they're great molds.

I have that very same mould. For all intents and purposes it was still being made as the 319247 the last time I looked, but only as a double cavity mould.  Oddly, though it is indeed an Ideal mould, mine came in a wooden box with a Winchester 1894 reloading tool.  It was the first 32-40 stuff I ever owned… and the first move down a long, slippery slope!  Roll Eyes

WHEEEEEEE!!  Grin
