Default anyone know where to get a chamber cast?

as the title says, i'm looking to get a chamber casting of an antique rifle. i'd like to know what the cartridge is, as there are no markings on the weapon....it was a custom rifle made in the late 1800's in belgium. it will almost certainly be an obsolete cartridge but there are a few places around that will make them for you.

i live in the south, so would prefer someone down here, if possible

I just ordered the stuff online from Brownells/Sinclair came in about a week pretty easy to use but a bit messy. Cost about $30 if I remember correctly, it is reusable so your really not out anything.
