I have been casting and shooting some 45-70 bullets this fall. The round nose is a Lee mold and casts at 460 grains and the pointed bullet is also a Lee mold and casts at 500 grains. I am using the round nose in my Marlin 1895 and the 500 grain in my C. Sharps. Driving them both at between 1100 and 1200 fps. It is kind of fun to shoot steel plates at 200 yards and more with them. Probably shoot a deer with one or the other in the next few days.
