    Ideal 575243

    Bill,

    I checked several old Lyman cast bullet handbooks and loading manuals, back to 39th edition, and can?t find that number. I?d try to get a photo of a cast bullet or the mold cavity.

    Sounds similar to the Rapine .575315, a minie with a semi wad cutter nose. The Rapine mold chart on the Castpics website has a drawing of it.
