Original paper patched bullet designs?

Don,

I will be most interested in what you find working with that bullet. I believe it is the most accurate ppb I've worked with in any caliber, though my .45 caliber long range just seems to shoot better every time I go to a match. The .45 is of course a one diameter bullet. I'm going to be working with a couple different people and rifles yet this year and early next year in hopes of refining the two-diameter ppb concept. They do work very well in the grease groove chambered rifles we've tried them in. The real test will come with my old C. Sharps 1874 in .45-70. That is the only rifle that I have not been able to get good consistent accuracy with using ppb. I have a good design for a two-diameter bullet that I think with tame that rifle and make it play nice.

Right now I've been sidetracked by this old .50-1 3/4" project and it is most accurate with ppb at groove diameter. The bullet has to fit the chamber!

Let me know when you get that mold and how Brooks did with it. He has always done a great job for me. Well there was one that was crap, but that was a bad design and I can't hold that against him I guess.
