    WTT or WTB .451" ish 45/70 paper patch bullet

    If anyone has some I will trade lead or cash for some smooth sided swaged or cast .451-.453 diameter bullets or even some grease groove bullets that drop from the mould around this diameter. preferably in the 500 plus weight range.
    I have been sizing down .458 postells and wanted to see if there is any increase in accuracy with the fabled smooth bullet or a .453 as cast bullet.
    I just finished and article in a magazine taking about how sizing down more than .001" or so is detrimental to accuracy.
    I want to see if the author is pulling my leg or not.
    Thanks guys!

    Let me clarify. I'm looking for naked bullets to be around .451-.453" so I can wrap up to the diameter needed.
    I'm shooting smokeless. Thanks guys!
