Going thru' molds, I re-discovered what I believe is an old, brass Ideal single-cavity mold stamped simply "433 401". No maker name, factory wooden handles, matches photos of the old "Ideal" type. Very short, round-nose bullet with what appears to be a gas check groove on the bottom. Haven't had a chance to cast a bullet due to cataract surgery a few days ago, so I don't know what weight bullet it produces.

Anyone have access to a chart that may shed light on what cartridge this mold is for? My search skills are "old guy" less than stellar, but better than my non-existant uploading photo skillset. Thanks for any help.
 
I bought a mold that was clearly marked 452, turned out to be 50 cal? Seller refunded half of purchase price. The mold came with handles so I’m satisfied.
