	There's a Pope .39 caliber mold on eBay that you can have for $1550.00.

	Is this from the current pope or the one who recently passed?

	ASSRA # 11318 I haven’t lost all my marbles yet but there is definitely a hole in the bag somewhere.

	Either way, it must be sacred.

	Never paid over $375 for any of the ones I have. Lots of guys asking ridiculous prices, but I don't see anyone paying those high prices.

	The only reason I looked at that mold at all is that I have a Hepburn with a Stevens Pope .39 caliber barrel. I have two molds with it, but it would be nice to have a Pope mold. I wonder how many .39 barrels he made?

Didn't even know they existed. Is yours based on a .38-55 chamber or what cartridge?

	It is based on the .38-55..395 groove. It's a shooter.

I have a couple scheutzen rifles with factory Ballard .40-63 barrels and always wondered who ordered a scheutzen rifle in that big cartridge? But after shooting them a lot with 350 gr. bullets I discovered they're not that much different than .38-55 chambered rifles.

	Greetings, I looked at the three moulds. I like the idea of the hole drilled marked "wax" for lubricating. Now to find my drill index..... Cheers, Dave
