Good looking boolit. Do they make a mold for the 54 Cal?

Have used the mold, shoots well in my Smith. The only problem I had at first was to make sure the the adjustment for length stays the same-has to be tight!
Once you have determined what weight works best, mark the point of the base plug at the point on the mold where they meet. This will help you keep the weight the same once you determine the best load.
Took a little getting use to but was worth it.

Good luck, Chao

PS> The only other mold they make like this that I am aware of is a .520 size. Maybe they do make others but I have not seen them advertised.

I posted about my new mould in another thread. I made some bullets with this mould. I also added a lock nut to the mould to keep the depth plug in place. That was a problem. Ron

I have used that mould in my 50-90 Pedersoli Sharps, at several different weights. Paperpatched BTW to .510". Shoots as well as anything else in the range of 1.5"- 2"@ 100 yards off a bench. BvT
