I have a question about the use of a tapered, paper patch bullet mould. I'm looking at two essentially identical moulds, save one is tapered, the other not. Advantages? Disadvantages? The only patched moulds I've used has been a Tom Ballard mould for the .44 calibre stuff, specifically for my .444's. Usually cast 280's or 300's out of it (nose pour adjustable also). This is for .50 calibre stuff, to fit my 50-90 Shiloh, 50-70 Springfields, and 50-70 NYS Rolley. Looking for pro's and con's, and any knowledge to be gained.
Thanks in advance, fellow patchers!
