Title: A question for anyone out there that casts
Post by JimW on Jun 16th, 2017 at 7:38pm
Here is my situation.

I want to make duplicates of the original Springfield Armory loads for my 1873 trapdoor rifle, as described in great detail, by J. Spencer Wolf, in his book “Loading Cartridges for the Original 45-70 Springfield Rifle and Carbine”

To achieve this, I am looking for bullets cast from the LEE-90268 mold out of soft 20:1 lead, sized to .460” and lubed.

I cannot find this bullet cast by commercial casters, and I don’t know anyone that casts near me.

I would have no issues procuring the mold and providing it, but my lifetime need for this bullet would be around 250 pieces which would make getting into casting myself rather costly.

Is this something anyone out there that casts could help me with?

Many thanks.
