Jet bullets has some Snider hollow based and solid ones as well.I'll get a box of brass and the two punches for now and go from there.
If it is a cavalry carbine it will have a coupon studs on the stock for a sight cover

My bullets are a flat base made from a mold designed by Martini/ Snider guru Kerry Jenkinson , and sold to Lee for manufacture .
It is a single lube groove type weighing 450 grains
