    Description

    VINTAGE DOUBLE CAVITY BULLET MOLD MADE, I BELIEVE BY MODERN BOND Corp. AND IS MARKED #D-311 955 AND BOTH HALVES ARE MARKED WITH AN H. THIS IS THE MOLD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A HANDLE.
    PER MY RESEARCH (from forums and information I could find)
    Just about every mold maker has a different "code". Lyman/Ideal molds are marked with three digits indicating the "size-to" diameter followed by three more that are just a more-or-less chronological sequence number (though these have in some cases been re-used from discontinued molds); another group of numbers appearing on both blocks are a "match number" to keep the pair together. Some makers use a pretty logical diameter + weight number; some others, like Hensley & Gibbs just use a sequence number, and you have to have a chart to decode them - some of these are posted on CASTPICS. One weird one was used on the old Modern-Bond molds (which originated the separate blocks and interchangeable handles back in the '20's, soon copied by Lyman). They used, for example, "D-311-955", meaning the fourth (A, B, C, D, ..get it? ) design in 0.311" diameter (with a new sequence for each caliber), 0.955" long (150 grs.); a double-cavity mold I have with two different weights/lengths of the same bullet is stamped "D-311-955-1145", with 150- and 180-gr. bullets, the latter 1.145"long.
