    .54 vs. .56 smoothbores...let's Speculate !!!

    I have a .56 T/C and being from MA I bought it from an older gentleman who bought it specificaly for our unique season :youcrazy: (smoothbore only).

    cleaning flashing lead?

    I have a few pots I use depending on what is being done. For melting wheel weights and nasty stuff in to ingots I use a big cast iron dutch oven on an old plumbers burner. When I am casting balls, bullets, sinkers and jig heads; I use a nice little aluminum sauce pot on the Coleman stove.

    .56 caliber smoothbore questions

    I love my .56 T/C, I shoot home cast .550 balls(made with a long out of production lyman mold) with a .018 prelubed patch. As it has been said, a good smack on the starter is needed to start the ball. My deer load is 110 grains of RS pyrodex, and is dead on at woods distances(30-75 yards). I...
