Fellas,
I got a brand new 1861 Pedersoli Springfield. The Dixie catalogue recommends a .575 minie. I already own a Lyman .575213 mould. I cast some rounds and went to the range. I thought they would fly well because they seem to fit just right in the barrel. No luck. They are tumbling end over end down range with no accuracy at all. Doing a search on Youtube, I saw some French guy in France shooting the same rifle by Pedersoli after he had put his rounds through a sizing die. Is this what I need to do? Wouldn't that make the rounds even less accurate? I need guidance because as it stands now, my Brown Bess is much more accurate than my Springfield.
