    Lee Conical Bullet Mold for .44 Cap And Ball Pistol

    Hey how are you guys doing these days? Fellas - I am hoping you can get me a Lee conical bullet mold for my Uberti 1860 in 44. Can you bring those in? Failing that can you recommend a round ball mold for my gun? I was using a Lee before and I think the mold threw the ball at .457"

    Hope you have a great weekend lined up!

    Sure... I think it's either this one:

    or this one:

    My old Lee mould crapped out and if I recall the diameter of the ball was .457". I know when I loaded them that they shaved off a thin circle of lead and that they were supposed to do that for a proper fit. Do conicals do the same? If any of you other gun nutters have any experience with these - your two cents would be sincerely appreciated. I need to get an order in!

    In all but the Ruger Old Army the .454 mold should also work.
    For conical bullets Lee has them in .450 or .456.
