Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - 1860 army bullet molds?
Posted: 7/21/2010 6:43:32 AM EDT
i got a set of 1860's from cabela's, and i have been shooting the standard .451balls in it.  I'm wandering if it would be worth getting a set of Lee molds for the conical bullets. They only cost like 20 bucks i think.  Are they more accurate?  And do they load easily?

I've used both. Not expensive to try out for youself. I don't personally see a acuracy difference. I prefer the round though.

You can also buy the conical bullets from Buffalo Bullet Comp.

DGW has them.

I find the round balls are much easier and faster to load in my 1860 than the conicals.
