    Mould identification query

    I have been given a number of moulds to be sold and do not recognise the maker's nane on 2 of the moulds.
    On the top of the mould is stamped LH 130 - 240 and on the other is LH 430 - 240. Both being 0.44 moulds.
    The mould handles look to have CF or something similar on the arms.
    I would appreciate feedback on the maker if that is possible.
    Thanks in anticipation

    Is it an LEM? Rings a bell but not sure with no visuals

    After a quick search it shows as a LEE which is why I recognise it

    Lee moulds follow this notation:

    Bullet type- size- weight

    If they are both .44 (.429 in pistol calibre) then I would guess that they both drop .430 calibre bullets at 240 grains. Cast bullets are normally .001" oversize. I would guess that the 130 should tea .430.
