I think that may be a Tom Stence mold.They are good quality molds.

The guy I bought if from said it was a Stence mould he thought. He said he got it in the early 80's and never used it. I was asked to help teach a class and let kids shoot BP rifles. I thought the smaller ball would be easier to load in the 50 cal for the kids. The class didn't materialize so I haven't cast with it.

ADK, here you go. The first ball I cast, mould not heated up real good yet. Turned out a .4815...
The 75th ball I cast turned out a .4810....
Most all I checked were .481...
I use a real soft lead, so hardness could make it fluctuate a little.

The balls come out very smooth and the sprue is very flush. Hope this helps.
