WTB Old Army Bullet Mold

[ChiefTJS]

This is a long shot but years ago I ran across a guy that had a mold for his Old Army that would cast one round ball and one conical bullet. I want to say it was a Lee mold but I could be very wrong. Anyhow, that's what I'm looking for a two cavity that gives me a ball and a bullet for the Old Army which would be a .457". Even if you don't have one, if anybody has a lead on who made them or may make them now please sing out. Thanks to all.

I think I remember a Lee mold like that- one .457 round ball cavity, one .456 conical cavity.

Good luck in your quest!

The whole problem with that is after you have fired 50 or 100 conicals you find yourself with a single cavity roundball mould.

:P :P :P

Here’s my solution to that problem, albeit currently out of stock:

Another option, though I’m not familiar with the company:

Thanks all. Sent you a PM Ron.

I swear I looked at Midway and saw nothing.

Probably won't use it a lot, but I wanted to have the options. Roundball has always been my most used.

I’m not sure that particular mold will be useful... the linked mold yields a .440 ball. Most folks shooting the Old Army use a .457 ball...

 

[ChiefTJS]

Absolutely correct Uncle Howie, I missed the .440 part. Nice catch.
