I’m planning on going to the big Md Antique Arms Show in March. As I’m not getting much interest here in these I was wondering if anyone knew of a vendor that might be at the Md show that I could contact. I would think that they would sell there with the Gettysburg/ Civil War interest up north.

I am unfamiliar with the model numbers. Are any of these suitable for a 63 Sharps?

What caliber is it? Percussion or cartridge? The 544-475 mold has the extension on the base to tie? the paper to. I’m not familiar with these either but the first 3 numbers are the caliber and the last 3 is the weight.

510-320 rnfp. Solid
577-470 trash can HB

The 577's are probably for the muzzleloading 58 caliber CW rifle muskets (Springfields, possibly Enfields).  The 460-405 is probably for the .45-70 Trapdoor Springfields, which with 3-groove barrels could easily use .460 diameter bullets.  The 430-210 is probably good for .44 Russian/Special/Magnum.  That 510-320 rnfp is probably for the .50-300 WCF for an Express M1886 Winchester.  So might the 500-250.

I'm not really in the market for any of these.  Good luck selling them.

I just received the 575-315 HB.  A fine old Rapine mold, took it out to the shop, and it dropped some good looking bullets perfect for my .58 J P Murray Musketoon. (Euroarms)

These are some good molds folks, if you have the application for them.
