    I plan on using some fg bp or maybe even lean a little towards blasting powder to get a slightly slower pop but it will be curious to see if it works.

    Does it still count as a miné ball?

    I just finished my 4-bore miné ball mould this morning, currently it makes 2250 grain minés if you can still call them that. I know this one is a little rough, I didn't have enough time to make multiple before work so my mould was still cold.
