MarrakaiCasper:
The guys over on the British Militaria forums have been struggling with over-size bores in the .577 Snider rifle for years, and have developed a couple of bullets which work. One has a driving band, or heel, like a .22 rimfire bullet. The guy who designed and supplies the mold seems to own the site, and posts as 'Coyote'. Head over to
http://p223.ezboard.com/fbritishmilitariaforumsfrm19?page=1 and trawl around. Lots of other good stuff in there too.

Dutch44I would recommend Paul Jones or Steve Brooks. I have had moulds from most of the people listed. I do not believe David Mos is still making moulds. Although I do have three of his and believe them to be the best I have ever had in my possession. My Jones and Brooks moulds have cast over 10,000 bullets each and they are still true. FWIW
