Roundballs

[6pt-Sika]

I was able to cast more both sizes of the roundballs today and I finally remembered to order the Precision Reloading steel shot wads that I was instructed to use . I however ordered both 12 gauge wads ones for 2 3/4" and the other is for 3" as well as the 10 gauge wad . And felt 20 and 28 gauge wads for cushioning .

Hopefully sometime next week I'll be able to get some idea whether this is going to fly or not

In hindsight I wish I'd looked to see if they made a 16 gauge wad of the same description as these and I'd have ordered a bag of them . Incidently a bag holds 100 wads , so I should have enough to get me thru all the 12 gauge stuff for perhaps 7 or 8 guns in 2 3/4" and 2 in 3" . I may however need more 10 gauge wads

The single 69 cal roundballs in the 10 gauge using the SP-10 wad worked pretty well , using the Precision steel wad they were to tight . The double 60 cal balls in a 2 3/4” shot okay but they need a little tweaking . The tri ball 60 cal 3” loads shot very well group wise . Shot all the 12’s in a Benelli semi

Found a new (to me) mold manufacturer earlier this week and ordered a pair of molds . One for the 10 gauge and a second for the 12 gauge . These things are actually molds for .69 caliber muskets . But they’re adaptable the .695-535 is good for a 12 gauge nestled in a CB WAA12 wad and the .715-535 will work well nestled in a REM SP-10 . They come with a pin to cast with hollow base , I was able to get them to make me a second pin for each so I have solid base slugs as well . I imagine I should recieve next week some time . https://moosemoulds.wixsite.com/mm2013/wadcutter-hb
