If you are interested in muzzle loading, try to work up a deal for the bullets and the rifle that fits them (And the mold). Muzzle loaders are is as short supply as everything else. And those are primo hunting bullets. Look for powder and percussion caps , too
Always nice to find interesting stuff in unexpected places! Now if you don’t have that caliber you have something else too buy!

So, it seems you need to go talk to her Dad without her! Sounds like the two of you will get along fine.

Wolfdog91, don't pass a chance to add to the addiction! ML's are fun and surely add to the experience. A talk w/ her Dad could be fun.
The look like the T/C Maxi Hunter. IIRC Lyman had several bullet molds with similar shapes, but, I believe they were flat nose.
TC sold Maxi hunter molds but I believe the HP was swedged, I never saw a TC hp mold.

her dad made his own trays ---- that's cool. Not pretty but functional (like stuff I made )
I have a hollow point thompson center 50 caliber mold ,, they called it the maxi hunter and those look identical to the ones I have cast .

Not goofy. The .32cal with patched round ball can be very accurate and is popular. These days the .50cal is most common because of the hunters and special seasons. I would rather have a .45 again. I sold two many years ago and regret it to this day.
Visit the muzzleloading section if you get interested.
