Does anyone Know where I can get original molds for a Maynard?
« on: October 17, 2012, 11:04:53 PM »
Hello,

I am a proud new owner of a Maynard and would like to buy some of the original bullet Molds ... they were .514/.515 and 265 Grains approximatey ... they  looked like this:



In a perfect world they would be a multiple mold and throw more than one bullet at a time ....

Thanks!

It doesn't look like it would be a very accurate bullet.

There is so little to hold it straight in the bore, or to engage the rifling.

Unfortunately, that was the round shot in the rifle ... there is a broad shouldered (almost a buffalo bullet with three or four lube grooves) that is a modern version of this round, but the originals had this little shoulder ....

TTFN,
