Bullet for breech seating in 40/60 Maynard

I'm just starting to work up loads for my new CPA in 40/60 Maynard. So far I have only tried a couple of different bullets in fixed ammo. I do have one Lyman mould that casts a tapered bullet that I intend to try when I get my breech seater.
The bullet I have is Lyman item #2640678, I was wondering if anyone has tried this bullet, or has any suggestions as to one that may be better.
The barrel in my CPA is 1-16 made by Krieger.
Mike.

Check out BACo's 400gr 'Kidwell' Money bullet. Might be just the ticket for BSing 40cal.

Would be good if you could do a chamber cast, so you know better the dimensions of any freebore and the leade so as to
choose a good fit for BSing.

I will have a look at the BACO bullet, I will also get the chamber cast done in the near future, thanks for the tips.
I seem to be building up an enviable collection of bullet moulds, may have to have a fire sale soon.
Mike.

Thanks everybody for the replies , presently I'm using a spitzer style bullet that is .408"dia and 1.420" long. Powder is PP Wano 56 gr and the primer  Federal 155 L/M Pistol primer seated through paper.
This load gives groups at 100 meters of 1.400" or a little better on reasonable days. I have be given some bullets to try that I'm told are the Money Bullet, these weigh 407gr, the spitzers weigh 409gr, the money bullet is 1.405 long. 
The money bullet has no taper from the first driving band to the last and is .410" dia. 
I don't imagine that either of these bullets will be all that good for breech seating but time will tell.
Thanks again.
Mike.
