Have a 45/70 with a 459 bore. Paper patched a few 440 diameter bullets just to see what I would get with 4 wraps.
I am getting .468 would this be to large if loaded round chambers with no problems ?

Is the bore diameter .459? Or the groove diameter is .459?
I once had a trap door with a huge bore.
for smokeless ideally you want you bullet to be at or above land diameter i like to cast size to 454 then patch and lube the patch and size to 458 with 459 bore you probably want your bullet in the 450+ range you can test by seeing if the unpatched bullet fits in the bore it should at least make contact
Was thinking this would be more like a bullet in a paper sabot , just wondering about the .468 diameter
No comment.
