    On casting roundballs......

    Bud, do you patch your RB? I am assuming you're shooting a .62?

    On casting roundballs......

    Gentlemen, I do not mean to be curt and I do indeed appreciate your replies. I'm mostly interested in what folk do when casting for smoothbores .

    On casting roundballs......

    Just wondering how many folks cast their own balls? Do you concern yourself with hardness? Years ago, I used my Father's lead pots, ladles, etc. to cast round balls for my .45 and .50 cal. rifles. However, I never really concerned myself with hardness or "perfectly" round balls. My Father...

    Got a little meat with my 54

    I'm envious! I still have family @ Rolla. My Grandfather went to Missouri and his brother to Arkansas from the Carolina's I believe. From there He came west so I'm out here in the desert!!

    No, I'm sorry I have misspoken. I was looking at kits from different manufacturers and some locks are not available through them. Sorry for any confusion!

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    Geez Brit.....you have to know that those are not common to us here in the US!? I mean....I get it but really? 23/64? Damn man! We're like 3/8", 1/4"' maybe 5 0r 7 sixteenths but come on! We're Americans and we have to take off our shoes to measure!

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    Oh, hey! On a sidenote here, for anyone considering one of these. Apparently, since it is an import (to the U.S.), the ramrod is measured at 9mm! So, what the heck is a millimeter?:dunno:Ok, just kidding. However, if one needs to order a ramrod, you want it to fit through your thimbles!

    +1 for track of the wolf flints. English flints. That rifle reminds me of a .45 cal. CVA Kentucky rifle I used to take my first deer! Hope you have fun with trying different loads and learning what works for you! Dang addictive flintlocks!;)

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    So, got the lock back a week or so ago. WAY smoother with a much better trigger break. The gentleman who did the work said the frizzen is good and we discussed flints and flint positioning. I don't have his permission to use his name here so I'll just say that he is a gunbuilder in...
