what conical is this?

[MosinRob]

I bought a .58 navy arms percussion rifle. The previous owner gave me some moulds and all kinds of stuff. Among it was four of these bullets. He said these were the most accurate in that gun but had no idea where to get them or where they came from. A guy gave him a bunch and only had these four left. Anyone have a idea what mould would make these?

From your pics it looks as though someone modified a minnie mold to add the extra cylindircal section on the nose. Frank

My friends that re-enact call them "Flying Trash Cans". For you younger folks, we used to put our garbage in metal cans. If you see one you'll get the picture...
