Great shooting, and with iron sights.
I have this mold, I was fortunate to get one of the last batch he made for CPA. It seems to have just the right amount of lube for smokeless.
I would like a similar bullet scaled up for breech seating smokeless 38-55. Does anyone know of a similar design for a 38 that I could get BA or Brooks to make?

Did you check out he bullet designs sticky in the general discussion forum?  Maybe there will be something close?  I have a Borton/Darr bullet like that one for .38 cal but it's not tapered.  340 gr.  I can send the measurements and a picture if it helps.  I'm sure you could take one of the 32 cal prints on that sticky thread and change the numbers. 

Chris.

i got an pm saying that pope molds were numbered to the guns.  pope did not put any numbers on the molds or other tools.  claude roderick numbered several so to keep the molds with the guns and not lost many years ago. i contacted the men that wrote the books on pope and his rifles just to make sure what i thought was correct.   tony<><
