.45-70 wimp loads

The NOE collar button bullet is a modified collar button bullet with a smaller grease groove which makes it a bit stronger and less flimsy.  Although, if there is a specific lighter weight bullet design you would be interested, we can always draw something up.  So you are wanting a 250ish gr bullet?

I am going to admit it.  I’m getting old.  I’ve been thinking about a lighter recoiling rifle than my TC Katahdin or Marlin GG.  But then my brain said “get a lighter bullet”.

I know that there is a Collar Button Bullet where the design dates back 150 years.  It looks interesting but I read that it can be difficult to cast and size.  Would a more up to date design be better?  Something like the 460-315-RF 2 cavity PB shortened by a groove with maybe a shorter nose?  Lets say that we aim for @250gr.

Push it to 900-1,200fps and shoot more with less trips to the dentist.

I recently stumbled on to an 457201 Rapine mould . It is likely that it was for a 1st Gen SAA with the 456,7,8 throats . Bought it sight unseen from a known reputable seller . I can try to get some pictures when it arrives maybe cast a few .

There are lots of 452-454 bullets that could be run in a special run at 458-460 for solid known good designs from 200-275 gr that should feed well in repeaters . Singles it’s just a matter of keeping them in the case . Gas check a few and that TC would probably run the heels off a 460 ……
Just ideas though .
