What is a Pope style bullet?

Around 1890, Harry Pope adopted a form of bullet that tapered from groove diameter at the back to bore diameter at the front. This works very well with Henry, Shalck, or Pope-style rifling and barrels with wide lands. These are used almost exclusively as breach beated bullets (bullets seated into the rifling with a special tool and the case inserted behind afterward).
