Good morning all I am looking for some 36 caliber from Colt cartridge works style.not lee for my 1851 navy.Any suggestions would be great.
 
Howdy sir.
It could matter a big bunch as to what brand your piece is.
Different outfits are making their chambers different diameters.
By example, these have a tail end made to fit Pietta's but they're too small for Uberti's.

Also, for a 1851 it mite (maybe) matter how long it is and how it fits into the chamber 'cause of the space beneath the ram sometimes plays into what bullet you can rotate into position.

I was just stating the ones in the picture aren't colt cartridge works bullets. It is my understanding that all the colt cartridge works bullets are the same dimensions. I too would possibly be interested in purchasing some, depending on the price as I was considering purchasing the mold myself, but I would also have to buy everything involved with a casting operation as I am new and have never attempted such. I currently make my paper cartridges with roundball for the .36 colt pocket police.... 40 fit inside an altoid can
