This is a one-of-a-kind bullet mold. Made by a guy named Weaver in the 80s.

Views of the mold ready for lead. The 2 handles are cams to cut the 100 sprues.

The sprue plate removed from the mold blocks.

The 100 cavities (blocks closed).

The 100 cavities (blocks open). You pull the wooden handle to open the mold.

This 100-C mold is not for sale................. yet.

It casts a 158gr SWC plain base bullet. No, I have never cast with it because I don't have pot large enough to keep up...... Plus it would take at least 2 people to work this mold.

So far all this mold has produced is OOOHs and AAAHs from the people that see it................

Let's see 158 grain x 100 = 15800 grains

or a little over 2 lbs every throw...yeah i'd say it would be a major challenge keeping enough lead melted to feed that mutha

I'd still like to see it in action

And you forgot to add the weight of the GIANT sprue that goes back into the pot.....................
