    WTB: LYMAN 580213OS .580 hollow base minie ball mold

    Title says it ..I am looking for the thin skirted hollow base minie ball mold by Lyman and I think the original number on the mold is 580213OS

    Thanks

    I cannot find decent pics versus style or a written explanation of Lyman's nomenclature ..I started looking for a straight 580213 but had several guys say the old original was for the 60 gr of black and to add "OS" to the number.. and guys wanting an "elk gun" ..100 gr of powder and a thick skirt hence the the newer 580213 thick skirt
    I'm not arguing ..just telling you my confusion since I cannot find any Lyman documentation to explain their nomenclature
    At this point I just need a minie I can size to this weird bore I'm working with
    So you are sure OS needs to be part of the nomenclature ..

    Thanks
