Can't seem to find a more perfect place to research than with you guys. Is there a more ecological substance than lead for casting ball that won't wear your barrel out?
Well, it's less than 24K gold.What a deal 14.00 per pound.
Actually, Gold is probably the most ecologically friendly muzzle loaded projectile material. In its pure form, it is soft enough to take the rifling, heavy enough to provide good down range energy and can be cast at a low enough temperature to be practical for the hobbyist. It is also completely non-toxic. Lead is only second best. I am pretty sure California won't pass legislation banning gold bullets. On the other hand gold might prove a bit more expensive than lead but worth it for those who want to protect Mother Earth. It will provide an added incentive to make every shot count!
ALRIGHT! Beautifully put. As an American Lit major, I applaud the understated humor. Thanks, I needed a laugh today. Guess I'll stick with lead, being woefully ignorant of alchemy.Actually, Gold is probably the most ecologically friendly muzzle loaded projectile material.

If lead originally came from the environment......?Can't seem to find a more perfect place to research than with you guys. Is there a more ecological substance than lead for casting ball that won't wear your barrel out?

Guys from California would be your source, love them condors.

After you mould your lead bullets paint them gold. That fooled train robbers for awhile 150 years ago
Maybe it still will.
Hey 8 Bore, you just solve the no lead for hunting band in Calif, all we have to do is paint all our ammo gold color and our dumb ass politician's will never know the diffence.
Condors are a fantastic bird , they shout be harvested without using lead shot as lead taints the delicate taste of the meat. best served with a white wine.
