Aviator, I am sure your parents schooled you in choosing your associates well?

An advisory to Aviator. My friend, please defer building a competition ready Trapdoor until after the 2025 World. :roll:

Websters: Mold - growth of minute fungi on vegetable or animal matter.

Websters: Mould - a hollow form for giving a particular shape to something in a molten state.

In America, both are used to describe a bullet mould/mold. However, using mould more precisely define the article and the purpose thereof.

Well, I guess you can tell my degree was in Physics, not English!
And I worked in Engineering, not Dictionary Writing!
And now I'm Retired, or Retarded, or something.......

As long as you are at it you just as well make some bushings so you can try the small pistol and rifle primers too.

A review of Webster's Dictionary shows that there are several definitions of the word "mold", the first is:

1a
: a cavity in which a substance is shaped: such as
: a matrix for casting metal
a bullet mold

Perhaps you were looking in a British version of a dictionary? :shock:
