Nice bullet mold! Measure it with your calipers at the diameter of the two driving bands. The 1873 guns used bullets about .423"-.424" diameter. The 1882 guns generally used bullets about .416" diameter.
The mold should measure .001"-.002 over the size of the bullet it will drop. This should tell you whether you have a mold for an 1873 or 1882 rifle.



It measures .425" so it must be for an 1873 rifle.
