Boot, I've got a lee hollow based round nose bullet. It was designed as a gallery bullet for .45-70, but I shot tjousands of them in CAS loaded over BP in .45 S&W cases. They were shot through Italian copies of 1872 Open Tops and an 1860 Henry. I cast them fairly soft and I'm sure I've got some around here you're welcome to. If not, I'll make sure to turn some out next time I have the pot fired up. I want to say they were around 245gr. My 454424 casts a little large, too. I have some cast soft that I shot through my rechambered New Service. I can send some of those your way too. They run around 265gr.
