.54 Molds

[nkbj]

Saw that fastleo needed one of the Lyman semi-wadcutter nosed .54 hunting bullet molds so I went and dug around in the fun box to see if I had one. Didn't find it but I found some other unicorns and thought somebody might remember them.
First up is a really rare one. It's almost like a REAL but with a hollow base. Looks like I need to clean some splatters off.

Here's the old hollow pointed Maxihunter.

And the 524 grain Lyman's #538146.

The Lyman #542622 thick skirted minie.

A mold of the same #542622 design but fitted with a plain base.

The .540 long Hodgdon adjustable length minie.

Lyman's #533476, good for paper patching in some .54's. Has a heck of a wide flat nose.
It can also be swaged down to .519 for .52 bores. Might be a good candidate for a plain base plug in the right rifle.

Great looking collection! If you are ever willing to part with that Lyman 538146 524g I would definitely be an interested party
