Any interest in a heavy 45/70 flatnose Mold?

[hornsurgeon]

Anybody else have any interest in a heavy 45/70 flat nose gas checked mold? I’m thinking of a design like the ranch dog copy with standard lube grooves, 460-461 diameter, and 480-560gr.

I’m thibking of using it in my 45/70 double barrel. But it should be marlin friendly as well.

I quite like the look of the old Lyman 457121 which I haven't seen for some time until I just looked and find it is for the .45 Whitworth. I had a friend many years ago that had a mould and I am sure he used it in .45-70.

Regardless, it is a nice design in my eyes and is 475 grs. so a substantial chunk 'o lead. A little lighter than you are looking for I guess.

Having said that I don't currently have a .45-70 but may in the not too distant future.

Something around there but in ~.452 for shooting in muzzleloaders...
