I recently picked up a new-in-the-box Colt's 3rd Model Dragoon, made by Colt's in the early 1980s (spare me the Italian Connection).
I'd like to find some authentically styled conical bullets for it, mostly for making paper cartridges to be used as photo props.
The conical design must be authentic, as I'll be photographing the Dragoon in period settings.
Anyone know of a commercial caster of authentic Dragoon conical bullets? I could cast them myself, but I'd have to buy a bullet mold. I've found it similarly difficult to find a mold that produces an authentic Colt 3rd Model Dragoon conical bullet.
I have Lee and Lyman conical bullet molds, but they're not of an authentic design.
Any ideas?
