I just used my last bullet for my 74/81 Mauser. Is there a bullet mould that anyone can recommend? I am considering a paper patch since I am doing it for a Martini.

There is a lot of variation in 43 Mauser chambers. If it was me, I would make a chamber cast before purchasing a mold.

Lyman 451112- 451113 -451114 if you can find them. Not sure if Lyman still makes them.
My 1871 mauser carbine had a bad chamber so I had the gumsmith ream it out for the
45/70 case. Smoothed the lead to the rifling. I shoot 457 dia bullets down my 451 bore
with no problems.
