Huvius,you maybe on to something! Your idea would explain the big sprue,also I think I see a cutter notch in the handles,next to the mold.If this is the original mold it would help explain how the oval bores worked with bullets.
Hmmmm...
If that is a notch in the scissor part of the mold, then the resulting sprue would be about half its as-cast length which would make a nice post for a .20-.25" wad to sit on.
I don't necessarily think that is how these bullets are meant to work, but it sure would make sense to me and wouldn't it be a neat project to try out?
