I too like the Gould bullet. What I never understood is why it wasn't made in a smaller diameter (ML diameter)?
My original Alex Henry percussion double rifle made in 1866 (0.451") has a similar weight bullet 325 - but PP. I've seen other 45 original molds that are GG.
So, I did some internet reading and found some AC Gould bullet info as well as some history. One thing I've learned, it seems the time of the Gould bullet in the 45-70 was quite a few years past the ML era. I would conclude that there may be many good Cartridge bullets that mimic past ML bullets - but unfortunately one will never see a reference..
