Paper Patched 45-75 ...

[john boy]

Buck has a mold that casts a 0.835 PP 45-75 bullet and Winchester sold Long Range Sharps 45-70 bullets that were cast 1:11 alloy.
So, I took my '74 Sharps adjustable PP mold: cast a few - wrapped a few and loaded one ...

Naked bullet:

• 1:11 alloy
• 0.385 length and 446 diameter (cupped based)
• 252.3 - 252.9gr

Wrapped Bullet:

• Three wraps - 0.003 Strathmore Tracing Paper
• 0.456 wrapped diameter

Loaded Cartridge:

• 348 Resized Case
• CCI LR Primer
• 63.5gr Goex CTG
• 0.1" Compression
• 1/8" Felt Wad - Lubed with Pope's Bayberry Recipe
• Light Crimp
• COAL - 2.430 (will have to be fired as a single shot)

How do they shoot?  Have no idea but will find out next time at the range

If you only loaded one as long as you don't miss the target, the group should be real good.
