To start with I have a J W Tolley double rifle chambered in .500/.450 no 1 Express. Not a cartridge you can buy at your local gun shop or any where for that matter. I was lucky enough to find and purchase 6 loaded cartridges for it on gunbroker. They were Eley brand cartridges. The bullets in the cartridges were/ are paper patch bullets. My question is do I have to use paper patch bullets when reloading the brass or can i get away with using grease groove bullets? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
