I have shot 3 bullets in my CPA 38/55.  When I shot fixed Ammo and BPCS I used a Saeco stock mold double cavity 300 gr for 200 yard pratice with Smokeless powder. For Black powder Cartridge Sillouette Matches I used a LBT custom mold that threw a 300 gr spritzer. Both performed well. The 300 gr spritzer was accuarate and adequate for Rams if not 100 % knockdown.  I went 300 grs on Veral Smiths the mold makers advice. He did not think the rifle would stabalize longer. At the time I set this rifle up CPA had lost there mold maker Jerry Barnett and could not supply molds cut for there rifles.

Since CPA has arranged with Colorado Shooters Supply (Hoch) to keep molds on hand.  And now  in my 38/55  (it's been converted to a Black powder Schuetzen) am breech seating a 330 gr bullet from a Hoch nose pour single cavity mold.   I am also using a CPA supplied Hoch for my 32/40's. Both give excellent results. They stock a Sillouette bullet mold thats long and has proven to be accurate.

Molds and bullets are a personal thing and probably what we tinker with most in Schetzens. Good reason too the bullet is key to sucess. Unless you want to experment you cannot go wrong starting with the CPA supplied Hoch molds. They are the result of a lot of experence.

Thanks for the info. I decided to go for the Hoch 330 grain nose pour and see what happens.
