Daryl:
Thanks for the info. I use to shoot pp in my Sharps 45-70 but used a tapered bullet. I do love those Hoch moulds. I would want a tapered projectile, though. Being adjustable will be a boon to me as the correct weight projectile for these rifles is 270-350 and I'm going to experiment with that range once I have the mould.

I use SPG almost exclusively as it works for me and Steve is a good friend. I have used Emmert lube alot for smokeless but I find that SPG works for smokeless too. I'll take your advise and reduce the diameter to accomodate the chamber/throat.
