Thanks for all the great info.
I have a bunch of 500 gr moulds I inherited RN, RNF and Silhouette moulds. I should have a nice fit for this rifle.

I just bought a Shiloh Sharps #1 in 45-70.
I paid $1500. The Rifle is unfired with presentation grade wood. I would rate it at 98%. Made in 1986. The man I bought it from advertised it as a wall...

There are no more lead WW to be found in my neck of the woods in Northern CA. I shoot exclusively range lead. I get it free from our local range. I have 5K lbs stored.
I have the same mold. Unused withm the handles. Maybe I should list at ebay. LOL
I have a 43 Mauser Ideal Mold that would not drop boolits.
I tried the following:
Smoke was OK
Frankford Release Spray: I think made my mold develop rust.

Tula or Wolf have really hard cups. Price is very good as well.
I've had great results with spp 45acp. I have actually switched over and made my life easier especially with my Dillon SDB. A drawback is that SPP has been scarce lately.
