    Blank cartidges

    Heres an other idea, take a peace of copper pipe like 1/2 in. or so. Cut it the lenght of your other former and when you wrap the cartridge instead of tieing it you push it up into the tube and it will hold its self.

    lead

    Thanks for all the ideas and i'll try to stay away from the wheel weights. I went down to my grandfather's and he gave about 50 lbs. of lead pipe so i guess i'm pretty well off for a while. Thanks for all the help.

    Impulse buy

    I got a bess last year. But I figured if i was going to buy a musket why not get the biggest, heaviest one. And the fact that I can use the first modle for both f&i and revolutionary war reenactments.

    lead

    I just got a .735 mold for my bess. I melted down every fishing sinker and wheel weight i could get my hands on. Does anyone have any other good ways to get lead? I was thinking about going and digging through the burms at the gun club for lead but we just got a foot of snow.
