.58 minie ball suplier help

[Acera]

A friend has a reproduction of the 1861 Springfield in 58 caliber and needs a source for an accurate reproduction of the original lead minie balls.

He intends to both fire them, and display them along with other period correct militaria.

We are easily able to find modern hunting bullets and regular round balls, but does anyone know of a source for what we need????

Thanks,

Here are a few:

A historically correct minie from Lyman is available from Bull Shop
Moyer's Cast Bullets also has the Lyman minie.
Track of the Wolf has minies too.
See also The Gun Works
Dixie Gunworks has both .575 and .577 cast minies available.

There are others. And you could try searching E-bay and Gun Broker; often see cast bullets available there.

Outstanding, thanks for the links.

Those are exactly what we are looking for.
