I have a Dixie Gun Works brass bag mold in .54 caliber which I've never carried or used to run ball over a campfire. Curious as to what kind of quality balls it would cast, I did a trial run here in the shop.
I was pleased and a bit surprised that they made such good balls. I cast 20 acceptable balls after the mold got hot, and trimmed the large sprue with the built-in cutter. Wrinkles were not a problem, the sizes were very close to nominal, and the weight range was 3 grams.
