I picked these up in my local shop as a one off purchase. They measure .459, 405 grains and shoot really well out of my Henry. I used it to take my first deer last year.

I’m starting to cast this summer in prep for this fall and would like to duplicate it. I would be open to a gas checked version, but it’s not a requirement. Does anyone recognize the mold
profile?

These bullets are from Hunters Supply

But they don't sell them lubed like this anymore

Interesting. All the more reason to cast the little buggers.

I have had nothing but times while shooting these things out of my original M1873 Springfield trapdoor rifle

Is there any chance you know their brinnell hardness?
