    http://kal.castpics.net/ for smooth sided bullet patched to bore diameter in a black powder load.

    I like Lyman 375449 patched up to groove diameter in a smokeless load.

    There is a thread on MSN BPCR that might interest you. But make copies NOW of anything you will want in the future. Dan Theodore's posted pictures don't usually stay around very long.

    There are two designs shown, and some comments about making them into smooth-sided bullets.

    I know you mentioned a paper patch boolit mold, but I have gotten excellent results from patching both the standard grooved RCBS and Lyman .375 molds. The grooves give the patch something to hold onto and will still hold some lube. Bear in mind all of my 38-55 work has been in lever actions. Your purposes may be totally different.
