    Burnside .558

    I have recently acquired a Burnside carbine and Dixie no longer offers a mold for this. 0.558 conical about 300 gr. Need one.

    I'll see hat I have. I know I have a Lyman mould that casts a .558 Hollow Base boolit. Off hand I think it's a #557456.
    Will double check.
    It should weigh around 425 grs.

    It is a Lyman #557456, but comes in around 475 grs.
    300 grs seems very light for a .56 cal.

    Typo?
