Take one of those rounds apart and weigh the slug, then go from there.

Has all the information you need, really it’s not all that hard but it is a bit different then loading smokeless powder, personally I prefer paper patched bullets to plane lead I shoot a 50/90 with a preferred load using a 500grain paper patched bullet, it’s amazingly accurate

Do you make your own paper patch bullets? [/quote] Yes the book has a couple different methods and i went through several different molds and bullet weights before finding one that gave the results and accuracy I wanted, there are other books to just like regular reloading and after a while you start to accumulate them but that one is a good starting point, it’s very satisfying to make hits with a sharps 50 t at 800 to 1000 yards on a man sized target and having guys on the firing line with their modern rifles with high mag high dollar scopes gapping at you like you have 2 heads Funny thing is I have had regular people who were non shooters come out and after a short introduction take and make decent shots at even long ranges with my sharps, there’s a reason they have a reputation like they do, but like anything there’s all kinds of little tricks and things that you pick up and learn that can improve your shooting
