Looking to buy a set of molds for round ball .350 diammeter. With or without handles as I might have some that fit. Any and all information would be appreciated. This would be for .36 caliber use.

Be Safe !!!

I have this new Lyman .35 single cavity mold that's still wrapped in the original cellophane.
$25 shipped by Priority Mail and I'll accept Paypal.

Pahoo, you do realize a .350 mold is for a .36 rifle not a pistol. A .36 pistol ball will be .375.

I figure that it's for that 1st class .36 Seneca rifle! :)

"Absotively" and yes, it's for the Seneca I just bought. Seems that all the Buckskinner dealers I know, are stuck on .45, .50 and .54. Got back from a local gun show today and did not have any luck finding any .36 RB.

You should still go ahead & buy that mold, it's a good price & it's always a good idea to have a mold for every caliber you shoot. However, are you aware that 000 buckshot is .350" diameter? Hornady sells it in 5lb boxes for $15-ish at retail, but you can often find it for less. I have been using 00 buck (.330") in my Siber .33 caliber pistol for years, & I also have 000 for a .34 caliber Adams revolver & a .36 Pedersoli U/H pistol. I have molds for both sizes but for the price of buckshot it's hard to justify the time casting. Just a thought!

Thanks for the super reply and information that should be shared with all. Of all the years I've shot M/L's. this is the first time I have gotten into a .36 PRB application and had not really looked into it as deeply as you have. I have sent payment to Articap for this Lyman mold. I run my lead about twice a year and make sinkers for the kids, to boot. I also have molds for all the M/L and cap & ball that I own. I have more .50 molds than I can to mention and plan on selling some off.
In addition, I found your inforamtion on the 00 Buck of interest as I have an application for that as well. I thank you again. :)
