Craig nei makes like a .770 diameter slug mould it is a real slug not some foster type .
Plus a mini ball wouldn't work in a brown bess because its a smooth bore . My bad its a .774 diameter but close enough to .775 |

For me personally I've found Mountain Molds to be the better option . I have 5 or 6 of their molds . They also have a computer program that allows one to design their own mold send it to them and use Paypal to pay for it . Each time I've ordered from them they got it to me quicker then the time they quoted . www.mountainmolds.com

All the 69 cal US muskets were smooth as well but they still made mini balls for them .

its a fine point - but the French inventor Minie' designed the round to seal to the rifling in a rifled musket to gain accuracy.
will it fire from a smooth bore - certainly- but the effect is lost

I'm thinking if I take the mini's and wrap them with enough tape to make them tight inside the shot cup they should do as well as any Foster style slug . And if I can keep the right and left barrel within 3 or 4 inches of each other at 25 yards then it's all good .

I may find mini balls or roundballs inside the shot cups of any of my 10;s , 12's or 16's isn't hitting on much and then I'll go back to buckshot only .
