SOLD Lyman 68569 750gr minie ball mold

[Badgerfarm]

The mold blocks are in very good condition. Used to cast approx 10 to test them out and decided not to re barrel my original 1842 Harper's Ferry smooth bore. From what I can tell Lyman doesn't make these anymore. I have these listed on other forums also. Blocks only no handles $85 shipped. I prefer Paypal for payment. Please send the funds within 24 hours or I will figure that you don't want it and pass it along. Start a conversation with me if you want more information.

This mold casts a 750 grain minie for the rifled .69 cal 1842 Harper's Ferry muskets that are available. You get about 10 to a pound of lead. They are no longer available from Lyman. I have an original 1842 HF smooth bore that was made in 1845 and I was going to have a new Whitaker rifled barrel made for it but decided against altering the original. The new barrel profiles are sometimes different and require removal of wood from the original stock to make them fit properly. I couldn't bring myself to altering the old girl because it's in too good of original condition to mess with it. I've had it since I was a kid in the late 60s and actually shot it with buck and ball loads when I was about 18 years old. That was 44 years ago. Where does the time go?

Let's try $80 shipped if anyone is interested?

I would also consider a trade for an EZE or Tower of Power cylinder loading tool.
