TR on WTB 45-90 bullet mold

Thu, 29 Oct 2026 22:45:21 +0000

I have a nice 45-90 mold I will sell, I don't know what you mean when you say cherried. This one has 90% of the blue, tight, clean, and original. I have used it a few times but not abused. I'm going to Tulsa Nov 13-14, I can bring it. T/R

I'd save my money before I bought that one. She was road hard and put up wet!

Just give it some time and one will come along before you know it.

Sincerely,

Maverick

Henry, I can't tell you what these are worth but, since Sharps rifles are rarer than Winchesters so is the ammo. I wish I had a Sharps in that caliber. I recently bought some Sharps 44-2 5/8" for about $40 each. I thought that was a deal.

PM me, if you wish.

Thank you Bertamus Maximus,

I was curious.

For those that are curious, Winchester manufactured a total of (47) Single Shot (high-wall) rifles chambered for the 45-2 7/8-Sharps cartridge.

I'm sure someone on here will want these, I have no idea what to ask for them without being outrageous, so if any one is in need please advise and/or make Me an offer.

As the title says I am looking for bullet mold for 45-90. 300 gr with the handles. Must be in very good condition.


Consider searching eBay as they have a good selection of old Winchester molds. The mold marked 45-60 WCF drops the same bullet as used in the 45-90 so that gives you other options. The same bullet was also listed as mold 45-70-300 as a light bullet for the 45-70.
The Lyman (Ideal) 457191 is a similar design and should also work well for you.
Please let us know what you end up with.


Bill I have perused fleabay but yet to find what I want. Needs to be a Winchester cherried mold to go with my collection of 45-90 reloading tools, ammo and guns. If anyone sees one let me know. Thanks.

There is one on ebay right now, item #236641266407. Way over priced at $350. Bill is right, the Lyman 457191 is an excellent mold for the .45-90. I've used one for over 60 years for .45-60, .45-70-300 and .45-90.

With all that said about the price on the 86 rifle, what's an original 86 carbine in 45-90, 65% condition worth?

Pictures would be a must. But typically carbines bring more money. 45-90 makes it a little more. I know what I paid for mine and I had to do a little negotiating to get there.

Sent you a pm.
