I got an old Ideal 515 141 116 mold for my 50-70 from somebody on another forum. The first three numbers are the size to diameter. I found this comprehensive chart to identify Lyman and Ideal molds. From the numbers this mold is a 450 grain bullet for 50-70 cartridges used in single shot Springfield and Remington rifles. If anybody has an old Lyman or Ideal mold they can't identify this will help.
