Remington bullet mould?

[Oyvind]

I have to original two-cavity percussion revolver bullet moulds with cavities for roundball and conical balls. One is easily identified as a Colt's Patent mould for the .44 calibre New Model Holster pistol (Model 1860 Army). The other is unmarked, except for a faint "S", but casts a bullet almost identical to that of the Colt. Could the second mould be a Remington mould for the Remington New Model Army?

The bullet dimensions are as follows (the Colt measurements listed first):

Largest diameter: .460" vs. .462"
Heel base diameter: .441" vs. .439"
Length: .7" vs. .68"
Weight: 217 grains vs. 220 grains
Roundball diameter: .460" vs. .460"


Colt mould (top) and unknown mould.

Hi Øyvind
I'm pretty sure that is a Remington mould.
The S is a inspection mark form the Ordnance department.
