Craig Ballistic Products sells Round Balls. Might want to try them for size before buying a mold. Opps they look like 12 G Balls, .715. Dixie Gun works has .730's. Dixie always a good place to look for obscure stuff.

I'll probably just get the bag mold and if it doesn't work I have a neighbor that'll more then liely take it off my hands !

I talked him into buying the POS J Manton side lever 10 gauge I had LOL's !

Incidently I tried the 12 gauge GH damascus gun at 50 yards about an hour ago with my home cast pellet looking slugs . The right barrel still prints a nice group about 2" to the right of POA , but the left barrel at 50 yards now makes it's group about 5" LEFT of POA . Seems the barrels on this gun were not regulated to cross at all .

I think that still counts as far as a doubles pin goes. But I see you aren't a member of the PGCA so I guess it's kind of a moot point.

I bet those barrels were regulated with shot, not a cast pellet, when PB built them.

i think a 2 inch at 50 yards is super for a slug gun and 5 inches ain t bad..if my 8 ga would shoot that good at 50 yards i woulda done got that deer with it.. charlie

That wasn't the group size at 50 yards that's how far they hit from POA . The right barrel was still about 2 inches right and the left barrel at 50 was now 5" left .
