[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2225144, member: 104363"] After reading all the comments about Paper Patched bullets in a 45-70, look at a reamer print/SAAMI Spec sheet. The 45-70 Government was not intended to use long heavy paper patched rounds (no freebore), so you should look at it to see if your chamber throat can handle the longer/heavier PP cast slugs. You may have a long throat, or not.... There are Dual Diameter molds available to produce a bore rider/drive band, but those may be grease groove only. So, do some homework and know what you're buying, be it bullets or molds and your chamber design. I'm building a 77 Sharp's from scratch, and I'm kind of in the chambering research phase now. I wish you success on your hunt! [/QUOTE]
