    FOR SALE RCBS 58-500-M

    I have one- use it a lot. It casts a 540 grain bullet. Contacted RCBS- asked them what was up- they said that those molds have always thrown 540 grain bullets. I thought that was odd, since my .580- 416 mold throws a 416 grain bullet on the dot. To their credit, they offered to refund my money...

    Large cast lead round musket balls

    I love my Marty Arms mold. Handle bolts get hot- have to wear good gloves, but it casts great, consistent roundballs.

    69 cal RB Mould

    I've been very happy with my Marty's Arms 4-cavity mold. Think they are around $120. Very well made. Handles get warm, but good gloves takes care of that.

    Accuracy of Zouave Rifles

    This from a Zoli Zouave I bought a few years ago for $175.00. Load was an RCBS Hodgdon Minie sized .002” under bore size. Charge was 50 grains Goex 2F by volume. Just a load I picked out of the blue. 100 yards from sandbags.

    They are too small for your nipple.

    Not all by a long shot, but it is a popular and effective technique!

    Brass bullet mold from Italy

    I have a Zoli- never have seen that mold. My guess is it will work great. Looks well designed/made. Curious what size ball it casts. My musket has a .581" bore.

    Real black powder

    Naught but holy black for me. I used a lot of Pyrodex back in the day with great results in percussion rifles.

    No patches to read

    Sometimes I just get my sight picture and then fire while looking for the patch instead of the sights. It also helps to have someone spot the patches for you.

    Ed has been at this a long time- I was lucky enough to live about 5 miles from him for quite a while- he is quite renowned, and rightly so. A great guy who is extremely skilled.
