Here is a nice example of a Pope 28 caliber double cavity mold. Notice that the mold makes two different weights of bullet, and because of that, only one of the bullets can benefit from the double cut-off plates. Note that when "push came to shove" Pope decided to make the shorter bullet pour from the base with the associated base cut-off.

Here is another unusual Pope-made mold. This one is a single cavity base-pour number built on the Ideal base with cocobolo handles. The side of the mold is marked with Pope's Hartford address line and lubrication points are marked "WAX" as is typical for Pope. Of interest in this one is the small "star" stamped or engraved into one side of the bullet near the front end. There is no hint that the mold has been tampered with in this area so the "star" appears to be an original part of the bullet configuration. One can only speculate about what the purpose of the "star" may have been, but it seems likely that it was intended to facilitate systematic alignment of the bullet during loading. At first thought, it seems that any advantage which may have been gained from systematic bullet alignment would have been forfeited by losing the smooth, symmetrical, external surface; and, the rarity of similar molds suggests that was probably the case!
