Tgc,
Good to hear from you. I also shoot a 45-70 with the BACO 455545e bullet. I talked with Arnie after not having the desired results with straight-sided PP bullets and I sent him some fired cases. He then recommended the bullet I’m now using. I’m finally getting around to using it this season. So far my best 200 yard groups are printing 1.5 MOA or less with 65 grains of OE 1.5. I have ladder loads ready up to 80 grains to test but the weather has not been cooperating. I’m shooting a roller with a 16 ROT Green Mountain barrel. My last 40 rounds were patched with Seth Cole white 55W paper but they were not as tight in the bore as I like, i.e. no thumb pressure needed to chamber them. I seated my current untested loads .2 deep in the WW cases with slightly thicker onion skin paper so we’ll see how that works.

You are in beautiful country out there.
Mike
