I just got an m&p mold they'll casts around 420g for my 45/70. It's got all the pin sets so I am going to cast some cup point ones with about a 15 hardness lead. They will be for my marlin guide gun.
I used to carry Hornady 350g flat noses at almost 2100 fps but the recoil is too much. My plinking load has been a cast 340g lee powder coated and it's much more manageable so I planned to load the new heavier cup point cast to about 1500 as well.
I regret selling my bfr 475 linebaugh sometimes but it was heavy and had a 7.5" barrel so I never carried it. When I decided to get away from it I sold a rossi 92 in 480 that I had as well. I wasn't casting at the time or I probably would have kept it. I still have a 420g mold for the 480 and I'll bet that little 92 would have done well with a moderate loaded 420g.
