Original paper patched bullet designs?

RE: Original paper patched bullet designs?
DT here are a few on pics of the bullet, mold, and loaded round. With your faster twist you will need to cast a longer heavier bullet. I believe the original Sharps Rifles had 1/34,1/36 twist barrels. For this bullet I like a skirt around .075 wide and .120 deep.
