in my 40-60 Maynard, Rolling block, Douglas 1-16 T
for groove dia bullets .400 patched to .4075-.408, 400gr bullet, same bullet sized to .395 patched to .400-.401, for Bore dia. bullets

Groove dia bullets shoot best in mine, 62grs OE 1 1/2F, poly wad, Fiocchi LP primers, or Fed 210GM

for shooting paper patch I use bore pigs, made with a nylon brush and the wiping cylinders from BACO, using plain water

That's a very nice group. At what distance did you shoot it?
Is your patched bullet bore or groove diameter?
If you are willing to share info, there are a few of us 40-65 PPB shooters who would like to know your load and fouling control regimen.
I have a very similar bullet that I shoot in my 40-65 Ballard that has a slight taper rather than straight body diameter.
Thanks

Thanks for all the replies, firstly I should mention that I shoot in a black powder club, so the use of smokeless powder is a no no.
Secondly I was hoping not to enlarge my mould collection any more than necessary, hopefully just buy one mould.
Whilst I have a Webber breach seater I mainly shoot fixed ammunition as it's easier with black powder ( no case scaping, de capping, re capping after each shot etc ).
Distances shot at our club are between 100 m and 200 m, so long range accuracy is not so important as short range.
Unfortunately I do not have access to any pin gauges, possibly I might find a selection of drills that would suffice.
My intention was to source a bullet from the selection offered by BACo that when patched with two wraps of the 9# onion skin would be a slip fit into my bore when using fixed ammunition.
Two listings in my BACo catalogue show the following bullets that may be suitable, these are JIM3944 420 gr,.394" dia, 1.400"  long,  or JIM395400 400 gr, .395" dia, 1.325" long. Just a thought but would the difference in length between the above two make much difference in my 1-16 barrel ?.
I did consider ordering a few swaged PP bullets in different sizes to try but, the cost of postage and the fact that BACo may not send them to Australia, finished that idea.

I shoot the JIM 395 400 in my 40-60M,40-65 and 40-70 and to 600 it shoots just fine.

I will go with the JIM 395 400 mould and give that a go. I currently have a lead pot full of 20-1 alloy and was going to use this, perhaps something softer may be better with a bullet wrapped to bore size.
My experiments some time ago with the 45/90 at 100 m showed very little difference in accuracy between PP and GG bullets, I never tried all that much with breech seating the bullets.  I did try charging the cases at home but on a couple of occasions the wad fell out of some in transit, leaving a big mess. Also I was under the impression that one of the major advantages of using the same case all the time was to avoid variations that may exist in one case to another, the pre charged case certainly saved a lot of time though.

I did have a scraper for the 45/90 case made after reading Randy's book on paper patching, I also had a primer pocket scraper. As I said  before It was all a lot of messing around for little gain at 100m. The ammo certainly looks traditional though.
All this experimenting will help keep me occupied and out of mischief in my old age.

a 0.395 bullet will patch to bigger than 0.400 with baco 9 lb onion skin.
this paper will add at leas 0.006 diameter wet patched, and at least 0.007 dry patched.
seth cole 55w will add about 0.005 wet patched.
check your bore diameter.
you can wrap a bolt or anything to get the added thickness when wrapping, and this will tell you what diameter mould to buy.
take heed of arnies advice re bullet length.
he has experience in this.
kal moulds can make you a dual diameter mould that will fit in the bore, and also be a neat fit in fired cases of a greaser chamber.
he can do an elliptical nose.
set it up so there is about 1/8" to 1/10" of bullet in the case and it fits the case and the bore and it will shoot.
keep safe,
bruce.
