    Snakeyes pistol

    I'll have to mike the balls I use in mine (I think they are .350), but I've used either a greased felt wad or thin patch w/ success. W/ a wad, I use a pinch of tow over the ball to keep it down tight on the powder.

I believe that he intended to but it is unused. From what I've read, Minies work well in RB twist rifling. I...
