I think a lot of us have a drawer full of moulds good and bad shooting bullets smile I know that I have. mine come in all shapes from wad cutters for my rifles to the sleek prolates.
But the bullet I use the most is of the original Sharps and several other old manufactures used. Below is one I swage using the RCE swage press and dies. I had Richard make this die for me amd I have moulds for the .44's and .40's
I took two Bisons using this bullet in the .44-77 and the .44-2-5/8 bn. The big .44 bn put him down with one shot and the .44-77 I had had to use two because the first just took out the top of the lungs and part of his spine. But they all kicked up sand when they passed through.
I have used these bullets past 1000 yards and I was never disappointed on how they performed. I think that's why they where so common in the past.
