    Springfield ball casting

    Hello I got a ball caster for my 1861 smoothbore Springfield. The balls I have made out of lead so far seem to be casting to big even though I got a .58 caliber caster. I was wondering if it was supposed to be a tight fit in the barrel or if it should slide down it pretty easily? I’m new to this...

    Hey I’m making my own balls for a smoothbore 1861 Springfield I have and was wondering are they supposed to fit pretty tight in the bore or are you super to be able to just drop them right down no problem? Mine seem to big and won’t go down the barrel? Thanks!
