Meister Bullets were the first and only bullets I ever bought for the 45-70.  They were SPG lubed Cabelas sell's them, price wasn't too bad and I had no complaints.

I strongly suspect he's thinking Black Powder. :)  :wink:

I make the Dastardly 45/70 that runs around 385  and is lubed with a beeswax lube like SPG.

Try going to the frontier spot and you can get more info on all these boolits.

I can  E-Mail you a photo of the boolit if you would like.
I also have a 405 that is hollow base but and I mean butt it does not hold as much lube as the Dastardly. The Dastardly holds the most lube of all bp boolits I have ever saw except the muzzle loader ones.
