    Someone with a CNC Lathe could easily make a Gardner Bullet Mould. Of course, someone would have to program the lathe to make the mould.

    Hopefully, they could make the moulds out of 360 Brass. As far as I am concerned, brass moulds are at least 100% better than aluminum moulds.

    Well good news we are back on track LOL. Just got the drawings back from NOE for it, in order to get it made we only need 10 people to roger up for it. Or 9 since obviously I am one of em. Hopefully between here and the NSSA sight as well as a couple facebook groups we should be able to get this thing finally going. I wish they could make an flanged bullet as this would also cross over to the Living history groups. Hopefully this will still appeal to them.Name:  N.O.E._Bullet_Moulds_568-570-RF_HB.Jpg

    .574 / .578 dia base

    You have to distinguish here a bore close to the original VS a modern Italian made bore size. In the war, I would be a dead soldier using a .578 size! I'd be swearing up a storm as the bullet gets stuck in my barrel and then an enemies bullet promptly takes care of me having to worry about it any further. End of story!
