Want to PP for 45-70 BPCR

[Gunlaker]

If you have 0.0016" paper you'll probably want a mould in the .445" to .446" range. My Badgers seem to fit well with a .445" bullet and the 0.0016" Seth Cole paper. I've recently switched from .445" to .446" for my new Green Mountain barreled rifle.

In my first rifle that I shot PP in I used a .444" bullet with 9 lb paper that I bought from Buffalo Arms. It's a Badger barreled rifle. I still use the same load and it's quite accurate, but I've been going with thinner paper and bigger bullets in my other rifles.

One thing that I've recent done was to paper patch a set of pin gauges to see which one fit te bore best. If you have the gauges, it's an easy way to guarantee that you'll have the right sized bullet. I did this for a .38 before I got Steve Brooks to cut me one of his excellent elliptical moulds.
