    In the 2002-2003 S&S Firearms catalogue, the .575460 "C/W Old Style" minie retailed for $89.95 but it was a close copy of the 1950's Ideal brand "Old Style" .575 213 that was a 460-grain minie. It's shown in the diagram in Post #3 in the link below:

    If he cannot find one, get back with me. I have a few cast minies of the Ideal .575 213 that he might could use in getting a new custom mould produced in that style and weight. The late Joe Howard had owned one and I have a few minies cast from his. They performed very well when used in a P/53 Enfield (usually one ragged hole at 50 yards). The Rapine .575460 is close in design and weight but just did not perform quite as well as I thought it would, and traded it off for another one similar to the Lee Ashcan (the Rapine .575470).

    I have a Lyman 575-213 OS that I don't use and would sell.
