Lyman Postell 457132

[APDDSN0864]

Hello, Barvid. Here is what Mr. Barlow had to say about this bullet in his No. 15 handbook:
"457132 This is a special bullet used by some military sharp shooters for long range target work. It was first made for us by George R. Russell of Boston, Mass., and was first used at Seagirt, by the Boston military companies. It is now known as the Postell bullet, with which the Geogia Volunteers were victorious at the military shoot at Seagirt. Requires special chamber with No. 5 or No. 3 tool. Price of mould, any of the weights....Special List. $1.50"
Illustration shows it to be available in 415, 475, or 535 grains..and clearly shows a slight bevel on base.

A hearty thanks to Mr. George R. Russell for this design. My Lyman Postell mold arrived in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to see how it shoots.
