WTB - Burnside Conical Bullet Mould

[Paul L]

Does anyone have a conical bullet mould for a Burnside Carbine they would be willing to sell? Anyone know where I can find one? Rapine used to make them, but I am not aware of any other makers at this point. A friend recently purchased a Burnside carbine, and now is looking for the correct mould so he can take it to the range.

If you have one to sell, or know where I could track one down I would really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

I would almost be willing to bet that if you could procure a sample bullet Moose Moulds could make a mould for you!

try a 562 roundbal works pretty well for me

Thanks John. My understanding is Moose is coming out with that mould next year.

In, I suggested that too. My friend I'd a Living Historian, and wanted everything to be authentic.

He may just have to wait until Moose releases the new mould.

Thanks!

Are you looking for a hollow base or solid base?

[Carolina Reb]

Try Accurate Molds numbers 56-340b, 345b, 350b, 450b and 450HB. The HB is a hollow base and you will have to make your own base pin. The others are all solid base. Mine likes the hollow base with a dished base, like the original. Weighs in at about 370 gr. http://www.accuratemolds.com/catalog.php?page=14

Thanks for the responses.

Efritz, I think he is looking for the solid based bullet, but I need to clarify that.

Carolina Reb, I really appreciate the link! I will pass that on to my friend and let him decide what he wants to try out. I will mention that yours likes the hallow based bullet.

Thanks guys!

I have an original one that I may part with. Not an easy find anywhere. It came from a local auction and is a little rough but will still cast a bullet.

Hi Third Winchester,

I will ask my friend if he is interested. Just so I have all the information I know he will ask....how much would you be looking to get for it? Could you proved a few pictures also?

Thanks!
