What bullet mold could it be?

[bakereloadprune]

Hi SD Members, I was clearing out a box of hand-me-downs and found what I think is a bullet mold. There are no markings or identifiers on it and it appears to be used without handles?

Internal dimensions appear to be 2.2 in long (up to the ogive) and ~0.5 inch wide. A google and GPT suggests its a possible 50 cal but i can't find any images that match either the possible bullet or the cast itself. Was considering whether to 'bay or SD classified it, but want to know what I'm dealing with first! Any suggestions and/or further measurement guidance is very much appreciated, as always.

Thanks in advance,
BRP

I think its a weight mould, not sure what weight it would be but the cut outs for a hoop are a give away to me

As in a weight used in fishing or related? I thought those cutaways were for letting out the air as it was in a box filled with bullet lube, a lead dipper and other random reloading pieces...

Now I feel like a plonker but thanks for solving the mystery I might make it into a paperweight!

It looks to me like a home made mold for fishing weights as above. You can see that the shape of the weight follows the profile of a large drill bit. My guess is someone has taken to bits of plate, clamped them up then drilled holes through to enable the locating pins to be fitted to match the two halves in the future. They’ve then clamped again & drilled longitudinally to get the two halves of the core. Then you can see where they’ve welded(?) the open end of the drill hole up & made two channels for holding a wire loop which is then set into the cast weight.

Looks like a fishing weight or a plumb line bob.

I actually made my own mold once with handles. And sprue cutter plate.
I've forgotten what bullets it cast and where it went
