Google "Rapine Bullet Mold" The size you need is .544475. It is .544 diameter and 475 grain weight, but be ready they get about $100 for one and it takes up to 6 weeks to get it! Dixie Gunworks sells the bullets already cast for $36 per 100.

I work on all types of Sharps, and they are not always what you would expect. Is there any way you can measure the bore? I expect that the .544 is the prime candidate, but would like to be sure.

I have both moulds, (not for sale) so I could send you some of each then you would know for sure, would want you to cover shipping.

NEI can make a mould resonably fast if you are willing to take aluminum blocks. I just got one in 3 days.

I have a shilo, and I slugged the bore with an oversize bullet. After tapping it down the bore, the major diameter is 0.540. I was planning to get a sizing die for .541, or should it be bigger?

Thanks for the help...I have decided to sell the gun and try shooting my original 1863 springfield musket.
