Ive got one of those Postell molds. Had it for 3 years now and havent gotten around to using it yet.

There is such a dizzying array of bullet styles for BPCR I don't know how you could even pick one. I bought a C. Sharps Arms High Wall 45-70 complete with Lee Shaver sights at an auction last year (2019) for $800. I only bought it because nobody was bidding, it looked new, and I knew that rifle was way over $2K new and those sights ain't cheap either. Plus I already load for 45-70 in my Browning 1886 and I have plenty of .45 cal molds on hand. It came with a Paul Jones mold that guys pay big money for now that he quit making molds. I've only shot it with smokeless and cast bullets for the 1886.

with 20-1 it would be 560, or at least awful close to it. Good looking Bullet Mike

Ya my 500 gr throws out at 510+ at 30-1 also. They were both supposed to have the Gov nose but that's what Jim made me and I'm sure it will work just fine. Gonna whack a bear with it this year, God willing.
