Hello folks!I have found bullet molds before,but this one (half)I found last weekend is kind of different?The bullet shape is a little different.I seen a .42 Lemat bullet posted which is a very rare bullet but it looks an awful lot like what I have here?Any ideas....I wish I had a Lemat for comparison

Found bullet mold

VAYANK is correct. The mold is for the Confederate Hanoverian or Saxon Pattern bullet Tigre rifle.61 cal.
This variant is featured on page 255 (fig. 640) of Dean Thomas' excellent reference book "ROUND BALL TO RIMFIRE' VOL. 4.

HERE IS A PHOTO OF MINE
Some have one ring and some two. I hope that helps.

Nice find

I've always wondered why or what happens to these people from these older posts....why they don't post anymore, not only here but other forums as well.
