Carriage isn't so bad because cannon balls are made of iron which is considerably lighter than lead ::

My swivel puts out a nice pattern of 00buck jest want to try some ball, and lead balls are easier to make and easier on the bore, gotta work up a good huntin load :crackup:

It looks a bit techo but making an aluminium ball mold over 1" is not a real big deal, even with a smallish lathe. Will give details to anyone that wants them.
