I would keep things simple at first. Start with a good greaser and develop a good load. There are enough variables to keep you busy for a while. You can graduate to PP later on. To PP a greaser, you would have to size a .458 down to .443 or so. The 2 wraps of paper would bring the bullet diameter up to about .450. If you are going to patch, start with the right diameter slick and go from there. Have you tried Buffalo arms for bullets? XThanks for the info. I have pretty much settled on a Postell design for their wind cutting ability from what I have read. But finding them has proved to be a challenge so far. Eventually I will cast my own but prior to getting a mold I want to be certain on the design. Plus, I want to start PPing which means a slick vs a grooved design -- at least from my research. I read one can PP a grooved bullet but slick were preferred. Is that your experience?
