    My round ball has a tit

    Of course, duh. It it wasn't female the ram rod wouldn't work on it.

    My round ball has a tit

    Casting some 0.454 round balls with a Lyman mold and they end up having a raised up flat spot where the sprue hole is, i.e a "tit"... I will shooting these in a Pietta 1860 Army 0.44... will the tit have any affect on performance, and do I load tit up or tit down, or other...

    Casting is just another enjoyable part of this hobby, highly recommended.

    double ignition, does this happen

    so glad I posted and asked for help! I tested two minies, one was the RCBS 500M with a custom pin at 467gr and thinner skirt, the other was the RCBS NS skirmisher bullet at 410gr... the 500M grouped decently with swabbing between shots, but the NS skirmisher minie would not even hit the paper...

    double ignition, does this happen

    That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I turned down my cleaning jag in the lathe about 20 mils and made it my range jag so it would ride over the fouling, but I did not stop the wipe just before the top of the breech and instead would let it go all the way down... I can see how I would be...

    double ignition, does this happen

    2nd time on the range ever with the ML, shot maybe 25 rounds today and had a lot of fun. A few times it seems like there were two ignitions happening, the initial powder ignition, and then a smaller one immediately after... is this normal, or am I just imagining this? ML is a Pederseoli P3...

    BP Nubie Range Report

    Thanks... I have a 0.577 sizer and the RCBS 500M mold, I'm going to see what size that mold casts and then try the 0.577 and see if they shoot any better.

    BP Nubie Range Report

    Had my first ever experience shooting a black powder muzzleloader... it was a lot of fun and I had some questions on what I can correct... feel free to offer suggestions as you see fit as I am doing this on my own. Hope this isn't too long, but I want to give enough detail so you could give me a...
