I found I have these 3 different sized Lyman moulds. What have been found best for an
Original 50 cal Maynard ?, a Hoyt relined?
Original Smith carbine / Massachusetts Arms Company made? American Machine Works made?
or American Arms Company made? a Hoyt relined?
.50 cal. Shiloh Sharps?

I have one in .518 that I use for my Spencer.

I use a .520" bullet sized to .518" in both my original 2nd model Maynard carbine and my original Smith carbine. That diameter works well in both carbines.
