Good evening gents. I have an 1881 model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield and I need a bullet mold matching the exact specifications as set out by Spencer Wolf in his book 'Loading cartridges for the original .45-70 Springfield rifle and carbine'. In the book Spencer lists three companies that manufacture the exact mold required for this project, Nei, Saeco and Rapine. The only problem is that the only company still producing this mold is Saeco and is offered through Redding. However Redding informed me that they do not conduct direct sales and I could special order it through 'Herron Security and sport' here in Aus. The problem here is they do not reply to any queries. If anyone has read the book you will see how exacting Spencer is with regard to the measurement of the bullet and shell to arrive at the accuracy he seems to achieve. I have attached a copy of the bullet I need below. I am hoping there is someone I have been unable to find in your great country that might make this mould.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
