Designing the 2-diameter paper patch bullet.

[Don McDowell]

Don, I’m still trying to shoot PP in my GM barrel 45-70 and am wondering who made your 45 dual diameter mold. Been thinking about this dual diameter thing vs breech seating. What are you using for a wad? And how critical is case length vs powder column height?

Mike , Brooks offers the original Sharps style dual diameter bullets. You can get them in either fixed base pour or nose pour adjustable.

I use the same Napa rubber cork wad and dry lubed felt wad as I do in all my patched loads.
I load them much like a greaser, seat it out to the lands for target shooting,or just short of the lands for just in case I want to eject an unfired case and not have to use a rod to get the bullet back out of the chamber.
