I just stumbled across a source of lead balls
The Missouri Bullet Company that apparently has a whole heck of a variety of projectiles including lead balls.
My vision defeats any investigation on my part
, but it might be of interest/
What is odd is that they don't eem to have the calibers we tend to shoot.
They have .44 but no .445.
They have .50 but no 497 and so on.
I have long complained of Hornady and Speer round balls as being swaged , not cast, which seems to give their balls wide ranging weights for any given caliber which I firmly believe as Flyer causing balls.
I would like to know if their balls and all oter elongated bullets are cast ore waged. If cast, how dotheir prices compare with the rather expensive Swaged balls.
I would appreciate someone's looking into that and passing it on to th forum. I would do tho but you can hold a magnifying glass to the screen only so long before you are forced to give up.
In my experience lead balls run about 99 out a hundred as usable weighted balls while swaged balls runabout 73 out of a hundred as usable.
Self cast balls, cast rapidly out of a single mold are the very best
Any volunteers?
