Mini balls for Zouave 58 cal musket

[Larry (Omaha)]

My Zouave is hard to load with .585 mini bullets. .580 is a fuzz smaller than I prefer. Does anyone know where I can purchase .581 or.582? Dunno if those are even available. Not looking for a mold, cuz I am too lazy for that.

You can have special mold made.
If you cast your own I would suggest hollow base as close to size and as thin a skirt as practical. The load should be just enough to put the skirt in the riflings but not so much the skirt spreads more when it leaves the barrel. Should the skirt spread it will slow it down and most likely cause it to walk. Use as close to pure soft lead as you can get.

It appears you need a sizer for a 0.582 minie

Yep, forgot about sizer.
