I am interested in some information on the muzzle loaded bullet ala Pope or one of the others great smiths of the era, what are the different in the bullet from the breach loaded bullet and the muzzle loaded bullet and what are the theory why there this slight difference in the design, does anyone have a drawing and or a picture of such a bullet, maybe someone actually have one mold to cast a few bullets......
The reason for this is that I have build a low wall in 32-40 with a false muzzle ala Pope on a Krieger barrel for BP shooting only and now I want to have Paul Jones to make me a mold for the muzzle loaded bullet, and my next project is a 33-47 where I also want to do some experiment with a false muzzle.
Paul Jones did not have any previously experience with muzzle loaded bullets but if I could get a previously made design he would cut a cherry and make moulds for both calibers.
I have previously got a lot of good advices on the 32-40 projects from some of the now banned members on another forum, maybe they can help again.
