Sir Dennis, Sorry to say that sharpsguy, Bill Bagwell, has passed on to the Happy Hunting Ground. If we make it there, find him by the ringing of the gongs and rising clouds of BP smoke signals. Don't be a stranger here. "Beware the man with only one cast bullet mould for his .458 WM+. He probably knows how to use it." 480-ish grain FN ? Saint Bagwell would approve of that bullet weight for .45-bore, but even he used more than one bullet mould. He even had at least one smokeless load that I know of for the 480-gr PH in the .45-70 Govt.
Grease cooky or lube cookie: I am thinking I will use a BeesWax & Olive Oil Biscuit (BWOOB) with both paper-patched and grease-grooved bullets shooting BP, with poker card wad on both sides of the BWOOB. The Rigby muzzleloaders used "tallow tempered with wax" (nonvegetarian) between their powder and paper-patched bullets.
