Alan,

What's the problem with that ?

Normal pricing from what I can see.

For the uninitiated, what are each of them and what is their function?

Thanks!,

OK what are they and how are they different from normal muzzle loading bullet casting?

Obviously one is a bullet mould. What do the other two do?

Guesses?

The little "press" closes the paradox/shotgun crimp or inserts the projectile?

The hand tool cuts a cannelure in the lead bullet?

It is a mold, sizer and fixer. The little press sizes the bullet, the pliers crimps the bullet in the case.
I thought the price was a little high considering the mold has a bolt in the bottom instead of the hollow point punch.

Okay, cool. I figured the bottom one was a mold. The swagger (sizer) makes since. Wouldn't have figured out the fixer.

Thanks guys!

Alan,
Beautiful old mold and an unusually heavy bullet weight for a paradox. You had posted your mold weight before and I had mentioned it to another collector/owner who had your bullet weight copied. He developed a load and took the gun and that bullet to Africa recently in search of elephant.

Thanks. Makes sense.

Gatsby,I would be very interested to know what sort of load you mate developed and what type of shells he used(plastic or brass) and the results of his African trip.

Al
