shooting black powder cartridge rifles for the last 18 years
and have found it an extremely rewarding and challenging
pastime.

Truncated
Cone
Brad Rice of Denver, CO has used a Lyman
nose pour mould with a truncated cone
similar to this for several years. He placed
2nd overall in 2003 and won the Nationals in
2004 using one similar, so I had to try one
& I found it works very well.

Flat
Nose
These are best for hunting as they do
flatten out some. Most other nose shapes
just punch on through even larger animals.
In Schuetzen, the flat point punches out a
nicer hole in the paper & seems to shoot very well.
