John, there are several initial steps before ordering bullets, wrapping and shooting them:
*  Important - Determine the bore & groove diameters of the rifle or rifle you plant to shoot PP rounds in
*  Paul Matthew's book is an excellent reference.  His book was my how to primer.  In the meantime, here is an excellent free read about PP'ing ... http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?t=32040

* Here's the informative forum that discusses PP'ing ... http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38

* Here's an excellent source for your bullets when your ready to order

Your message about a mold ... do you mean the paper patch mold I have?

The Shiloh forum also has a lot of very experienced shooters who can steer you in the right direction. The main thing is to decide if you are going to be using smokeless powder or black. EVERYTHING is different between the two, and so many folks I see keep getting the techniques mixed up between the two. That only leads to frustration.

I am off this morning to shoot some bullets made with my new BACO mould through my 45-70. They start at .442", get patched to .449" and shot over 80 gr. Swiss 1.5F. Great fun!
