Remington Repeating Arms Co.
New Haven, Ct
Bullet Mold Date of MFG unknown but old.
.403 DIA
.828 Length
257-258 grains (used some Speer lead round ball to cast with)
Could be intended for the .40-260 Winchester series (.40-65-260, .40-82-260 and .40-110-260) or the .40-260 Bullard as listed in the Ideal Manufacturing Co., New Haven, Ct catalog from 1900

(See pages 10 and 11, bullet shape is very similar to the Bullard 413174)
My guess is it's an antique but still usable. Manufacturer markings readable. Asking $20 picked up in Kitsap County area and as far south as Gig Harbor, $28 shipped.
