I bought an "early" Uberti Hawken .54cal last Tuesday and it will probably take a few weeks to get to it's new home. Everything that I have read claims they are not actually .54 but .53 . I Have a .535 Lyman mold for my other .54 but that would be to big if it is .53 .
I started searching for a .525 Lyman mold, they seem to be pretty rare. I did find a .526 Lyman mold at Classic Firearms and parts Friday on their website for $19.95, I felt like it was a fair price so took a chance on it. The mold arrived today, very quick shipping I must say. I had to give it a try tonight and pour a few dozen balls to see if it was a true .526 . Of the 33 I poured all but 3 measured .526 , the other 3 measured .525 . So I am pleased with the second hand mold. How I can't wait to fire those balls to see how the rifle shoots.
