no idea never heard of them.
but with a mold number like that I would guess the 45/70
This is a behemoth of a 45 caliber black powder bullet runs .459-.460 diamter. At 665 grains and about 1.5 inches long you will need a fast twist to stabilize it. Five large grease grooves. I have seen it take down rams at 500m and it is impressive. The number 12 inbetween the 459 and the 665 is date code for the cherry.
