So Im getting some molds for a 45 auto and a .30 cal for a 308. These will be the 225gr and 160gr bullet mold. I'v done this with my dad for his sharps 45-70 but wondering if I should go with a differant ratio on my lead. Any of you guys have experiance with this for either of these bullets. I will be using modern day powder, HS-6 for the 45 and varget for the 308. Also wondering on the patch below bullet to help from as much lead fouling. And what about velocity or powder charge, can I shoot the same load as what I do now with similar bullet weight? Not really wanting to shoot these all the time, just as you all know bullets are getting hard to come by and I would like to know I had somthing that works. Thanks for the help guys.
