Hi LeadHead.
Lyman made them in a lot of sizes from .300 - .498. I don't have my list handy, but I think I have 15 different sizes.

Hi plinky56,
I'll go out to the shop this afternoon and see if there's a .735 in the drawer. I can't guarantee the seam size is less than .736 however.
Will PM and post a pic here.

I cast the Accurate 45-180R for the Ruger Old Army, Using Pure Lead and sized .454.
Note: I ordered mine to cast .462 with Pb for multiple uses including 45/70. I also use a Star sizer to limit...
Sure looks a lot like the H&G #140 to me. Link to Catalogue below.

Hi Brokenbear,
I'm pretty sure I have one in the shop. If it's new there's no way for me to know if it's over size, but it could be lapped or beagled.
I know I have a .582 Rapine out there that I...
I'll have to disagree with everyone here and claim it to be a .50 Sharps Ringtail boolit. If the base had been over filled and the excess trimmed around it, it would work fine in the Sharps. A...

Actually that's a very rare mould, and the .301 diameter was made for a rifle. I have a friend who has the rifle, but I don't remember what it was.
I actually had got a custom Accurate mould made...

I would never render lead like that. The main reason is no temperature control for the lead over the fire.
There are a few others, but the afore mentioned can be dangerous.

The recommended boolit for the rifle is the Lyman #575213OS with OS denoting the Old Style/Original. It's a 450 gr. Minie.
Some of the old target shooters also used Lyman #575494 Minie, but this one...
It's probably a tapered based for seating. That's an awfully long boolit for muzzle seating.
Nice mould, and thanks for the pic!
I will go with Mark and Bad Ass on this also, and probably has several applications for old M\L and early cartridge rounds.
Nice find!

The 450 prefix was used for the .44 Cal. Black Powder pistol boolits, though Lyman was known to cross over numbers from Ideal and use the prefix for something else. The .451 Self Loading Rifle...
