I was reading a book recently about the buffalo hunter era of the old west. The book mentioned one guy who would wrap the bullet in paper before seating it in the casing and didn't use the traditional lube. It said that if prevented leading in the barrel. He was using a Sharps's 45 or 50 Has anyone heard of this? It sounded interesting.
