Brooks molds
Yesterday at 10:42pm

I am about to invest and that is what it is cause these things are expensive in a Brooks bullet mold for my 40-70 Sharps straight chambered rifles. I know a lot of you out there use these molds. So my question is what would be a good design as he has many for this round? Snover, money bullet etc... What would be a good choice. My twist is one in sixteen. Also what bullet weight? My primary lead is wheel weight. Suggestions anyone?

I like his original postel nose profiles. Probably keep the weight to something around 400-410 grains.
I had him make a dual diameter paper patch bullet that finally got my 18 twist 40-70 to shoot reliably well.
Your best bet is to email them and tell them what you think you want, and they'll either call or email you back and discuss it with you.
