Kenny Briesen bench gun mold

[Silcott8541]

Hello all,

Some of you may have known and shot with my late friend, Elwood Cullers. I am helping the local auctioneer with sorting out all of Elwood's shooting equipment and I need some help. We have searched high and low for the molds that go with his Kenny Briesen slug gun barrel and, I cannot find the mold for the base of the bullet. I have located the mold for the nose and also a mold for a one piece bullet.

Could someone please email a picture of the base mold, so I know what I'm looking for. I can only assume it's made from a small Ideal mold but, I don't know how the hollow cavity is made. Whether it's a plug, removed by hand or, built in, like a Rapine mold.

I am trying to find all the pieces so, when it goes to auction, the buyer will get everything needed to shoot. My email address is [email protected].

Thank you for any and all help!

Heath

Hope you find the info you are looking for, I couldn't help but say that I am sorry to hear of Elwood's passing - heck of a good shot for a very long time! Never won anything when he or a few others were on the line!

He was a hell of a shot and a hell of a man. Between him, HP and Bobby Elka, I doubt much was left to be won. I talked to Bobby today and I believe he is getting the pictures I need.

If the mold for the nose has a pin that goes into the base then there will a pin with the base mold to make the hole. If the nose mold has a pin to make a hole for the base to dovetail into it then it will be obvious. Might also want to make certain the swage to join both pieces together is there as well.

I believe I saw Elwood Cullers' slug rifle this weekend on the line at Canal Fulton.

Last I heard Ken Briesen was still alive. If so, maybe he can help. If anyone made a better barrel than him, I don't know who it might be.

Ken passed away a number of years ago. If the rifle I saw on Sunday is the same rifle as the one in the original post the new owner finished the tooling for it.
