Still no luck in finding an answer. This has became "Finding Bobby Fischer. "
Maybe NOE will get their moulds back in stock one day!

I'd ask Tom at Accurate Molds to make it to the diameter wanted and to fit a Lyman base plug that I already had in the fun box.

Interesting mold. Is it easy to use? It looks like the bullet might be difficult to get out.

Hola Y que tal' or at least 'Bem dia 'or' Boa Tarde' . The late design Pritchet bullet would have been Swagged the 550 dia is allowing the Paper cartridge to be simply used , the tapered hollow base plug expands the bullet so loads easy but expands fine . expanding and less tendency to foul as the Burton Minie' Bullet was wont to do .Used throughout the Empire ,But also both Confederate & Union forces latterly used this system The plugs being wood or baked clay

hello friend. Here in Brazil we speak Portuguese... so it's, Bom dia (Good morning), Boa tarde (Good afternoon) and Boa noite (Good night). About the pritchet bullet, I've already read a lot about its development. What caught my attention was the type of mold used by the colleague above...a whole mold, which is not divided into two parts like the common ones.
