	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. John

	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! WHEEEEEEE!! Froggie
