Lever Guns??

The manufactures of the Colt cartridges must have gotten lazy! I was aware of the heeled bullet and got curious about it. I had a couple of rounds in my misc cartridge box so I took a couple apart and guess what. A real old one was as you described but a Remington round may just as well been a S&W as the ball diameter was .312 and weight was 85 grs and was identical to a S&W ball! There was a differences in the cases as there should have been but the bullets were the same. I wonder what kind of accuracy you got from that load. Isn't reloading old cartridges fun. Some of the tools I've used I had to make.

I'm hoping to not have to make them unless there is absolutely no other choice. If I remember correctly, Buffalo Arms has the dies but they were upwards of a C-note.
