looks like youve started well...i too was a little disappointed a first few trys at making the ball s...the best trick ive learned is to keep the mould real hot the balls come out much rounder and better looking...as for the sprew mine has this too.. i just cut it off with wire cutters and file down with large file..takes a few secounds but leaves ball looking nice....your pumpkin loads will get better as you try them but every once in awhile a clunker will come out...i would not be affaid to fire the lead balls at the given wight of powder in a black powder or a smokeless load in a 1 1/4 ounce ball...hope your gun has good accuracy with them...mainest thing its gonna be a great challenge hunting with a load youve made yourself and when we do get to take that deer with this load its all gonna be worth it...good shooting ... charlie

Hmmmm I may have to give this some consideration for my old hammerless W.C.Scott damascus 10 gauge !

Popped a deer with it using 00 Buck in 2010 !

Shooting one with this punkin ball may be what I need to do this coming season of 2012 !

As long as I can keep both barrels in a paper plate at 35 yards I should be just fine for what I wanna do with it !

Since I wanna change as little in my 10 gauge load as possible I am wondering if this .760" ball is going to fit inside a Remington SP-10 wad ?

Or would I be better off getting the next smaller mold from Track of the Wolf thats supposed to be about .710" ?
