The bullet on the left is the 459,535m3 bullet from buffalo arms, works great in the 45-90 for long range target shooting.
The next bullet is the Saeco 645,probably the best grease groove bullet for all round use in the 45-70.
That's my selection for the Walmart calibers for now, have two or 3 slicks for those 45's, but couldn't really label any of them as favorite.
Moving on to the good ol 44's (the ones that made the world safe enough for the 45's to come out)
The Brooks original postell bullet at 480 grs (1.35 in long) works real well to about 800 in the 44-77 but is a bit long for the 19 twist in the shilohs. Shoots lights out at 600 in the 44-90 st.
Next is the Brooks redition of the "tankbuster" bullet which was copied from an original sharps bullet, dual diameter .435 on the fat portion of the shank and 429ish on the nose. Adjusted down to 1.1 inch it's a great bullet out to 600 in the 44-77 for either hunting, or slamming sillouette rams off the stand with authority. Lengthed out to 1.3 it will shoot well to 1000 yds in the 44-77. Bullet is also capable of shooting into the upper 90's with some x's attached in target matches. Am seriously considering having Brooks do this same bullet in a large enough diameter to give the 45's a dual purpose slick.
Next bullet is the Baco 434470, 1.35 long 435 diameter shoots well in the 44-77 to 1000, unless crosswinds start to give it stability problems, again just a touch long for the 19 twist, but works fine in faster twist guns.
Last bullet is the Brooks new postel at .435 diameter 1.3 inches long (455 grs) this length of bullet makes the 44-77 competitive to 1000 yds in all manner of conditions.

the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
