.31 Conical Bullet Molds?

[TruthTellers]

I see that .375 and .450 conical molds are readily available for .36 and .44 revolvers, but when I look for a mold or even cast bullets for a .31, I draw a blank. Are there any manufacturers of .31 conical bullet molds that currently produce them or are these special order only type molds?

Pedersoli makes a colt type round ball and conical mold as do some others which you can find at Dixie Gun Works and the like.

In times past, NEI, Hensley & Gibbs and Rapine made them too.

Accurate Molds has many different types and calibers available and will make whatever you want at no extra charge. They made four .45 cal and one .38 cal cap n ball bullet designs for me.

Gee...your "google kung fu" is weak.....took one search to find the molds at ......

a few more strokes...found several other sites with molds for 31/32 cal.....just not that hard to find

To clarify, I'm looking for a .31 mold for either a Uberti 1849 Pocket or Pietta Pocket. Max bullet weight of 85 grains.

I would buy a Lee or Lyman 32 caliber bullet mould that struck my fancy.

Wow; 95$ for a mold... i think i paid $75 for one of my 1849 ASM's in wood case with mold, flask, etc...

I'd watch ebay or gunbroker for one to pop up cheap.

A rifle mold is much small than a pistol mold. A typical rifle mold is .310 or .311 and the pistol molds run from .315 to .323 or greater.
