They have been out of stock for a while. If you and others add your contact info, they will see a need and run some. I am also looking for bullets for a sinder double rifle.

I bought a Snider double rifle about 7 weeks ago. Still in England.

Is there any indication of the load on the rifle?
You may get lucky and find it's regulated for 3 drams and a round ball - I've seen a couple like that.
That makes a nice rifle for deer in the woods.

This is a German double in .58 Roberts or a European caliber that is the same. The .58 Roberts (1870) rifle cartridge has a case length of 1.37 inches (34.8 mm) and an overall cartridge length of 1.90 inches. It was a way to use .58 cal musket barrels and fire centerfire cartridges.

Look on Gunbroker and do a search on .577 cast bullets. There is a dealer on there that lists as "Maplewood Bullets''. He casts and sells in various calibers and weights. Some are hard and some softe; depends on the specific application. He generally has only a couple of different ones at a time. I have purchased quite a few of different calibers over the last few years and had good luck. Right now the .577 in 530 grains is one of the two listed. He has 9 packages of 50 available at $30 a pack.

Hope this helps.
