Possible .45 patched paper mould
« on: April 25, 2004, 03:33:46 PM »
I am posting this for Ed Barrett.  It was originially on www.accuratereloading.com under the Cast Bullets forum.

"I am checking to see if there is enough interest in a group buy of a 500 grain paper patched bullet mold from Lee. I have seen what paper patched bullets can do as far as accuracy and speed without leading and I am very happy with the results. I can even get them to feed perfectly in my gibbs 45-70. I did this with some loaned bullets from a friend and I am going to get a mold for myself. I thought if enough other casters would like to go in on a group buy we could get it done a lot cheaper and we could compare notes working up loads. Let me know what you think.

Let us know if there is interest - it's something I'd like to try.

Since I discovered (Doh!) the paper patch discussion board RIGHT HERE ON GRAYBEARDOUTDOORS.COM, I'll move further discussion to that forum.

Thanks Graybeard (and thanks Wener).  This is a broad based project over several (very good let me add) boards and forums.  We appreciate the support of all.

Why don't you go to www.mountainmolds.com and order an iron mold that will last. I doubt very much that there is much difference in price between Dan's molds and a special run from Lee.
