I’m getting ready to purchase a slick sided Boolit mold. I not sure of what diameter I should get.
I am using my .45-70 Marlin I bought in the eighties as a platform to learn more about PP and black powder. I plan to buy a single shot rifle more suited for the sport in the future. I bought some .451 boolits and wet patched them with tracing paper to .457-.458. They shot ok with smokeless, but I never took the time to work up a load. I think they were a little tight, because there was a fair amount of confetti.
I am planning to buy paper from Buffalo Arms at the same time as I buy a mold. The 443" 530 Grain Elliptical Paper Patch Bullet Flat Base Mold is one I am looking at, but am not at all sure if it is the correct one to buy.
Maybe I am being unrealistic thinking that I can use the same mold for a rifle I haven’t bought yet. Is it even possible to use this mold to just start shooting in an unknown future rifle.
