I picked up the top half of a Parker Hale .58 Minie mold at a gun show last month. Not having the bottom plug I tried my bottom plug from a Lyman 575611PH mold. It was too small.
I have an old 500 grain RCBS Minie mold from which I tried the bottom plug. It fit. Also, I found the RCBS mold screws going through the mold handles and the attached RCBS plug plate plug worked. Makes nice bullets now. When I get a scale that weighs over 500 grains I will find out what weight it casts now.
Does anyone know what weight projectile the Parker Hale 58560 mold is supposed to cast in its original configuration?
