help I.D. this mold please

Cast Boolits - Dedicated To The World Of Cast Bullets!

I aquired this some years ago, and as I've just became interested in casting, had forgotten about it. It appears to be a BP boolit, like a maxi ball. I don't know what brand it is and the number that it is stamped with brings up only double molds on lyman.... It has 671 on both halves.

Can someone clue me in??

It looks like a mould made by TC. The 671 on both halves is to keep them together during the manufacturing process, since they are mated halves.
I have several of their moulds in .45, .50, and .54 caliber. Both maxi-ball and round ball styles. They are all single cavity, and work great!

It does look to be the tc maxi ball mold
looks just like the 50 cal one I have.
it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.
