I need the diameter and length of a couple of different Paper Patched bullets for some comparisons. Alloy can be anything soft 40-1....pure etc. I need them for bullet in 40 and 45 caliber with weights running 330 to 370 or so in 40 caliber and 450 or so in 45 caliber. If any of you have something to measure could you kindly give me the information? Also it would be handy to know the bullet nose style such as similar to the Sharps bullets. Thanks.

I have some with the traditional creedmoor nose, that are .444 diameter , 1.16 long and weigh 420 grs from 20-1. Have a .400 bullet from BACO that weighs 360 cast from 20-1.
If you go to BACO's web site you can look at the description of their patched bullet moulds and get diameter, length and projected weight.

You have to look at each bullet individual to get the measurements.
