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.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
