Hello, does anyone have experience with Log Cabin's cast round balls? Any notes on consistancy would be great. Thanks in advance

Hello LB, the last time I bought some was about two years ago. As far as I could tell they were consistent, but I only shot one bag (100) though one of my revolvers. Liza did say they sold a lot of them. I'm sure someone with better info will come along shortly.
Good Luck,
R

They are of excellent quality.

I love the LCS. I'm originally from Ohio. That said their round balls are ok. Not bad, but not great. If you cast your own, you can do a heck of a lot better. However compared to who ever supplies RMC, the LCS is light years ahead in terms of quality.

So like I said they are 'OK' with roundballs.

If the price is right, get a small amount and test them out. They are a great business to deal with.

Thanks for the replies, I've been wondering if .575 balls would group better than my .570 in my .58. The .570's go down pretty easy with lube soaked .020 patch. What all goes into casting your own?

I started casting for my revolvers 13 years ago with a lee 2 cavity mold, small cast iron pot, cheap lead ladle, and a single burner Coleman stove. That setup worked for many winters! Just recently got a lee electric led pot a couple of winters ago.

Where's the best place or way to buy lead?

 

[Coolhand]

I have bought it off of here before. If you know anyone that works on power lines have them save you some old insulator pins. That is where I get most of mine. The metal pin has the end dipped in lead with threads cut in it for insulators to screw onto.

Have you tried old blue jeans as a patch material ? It's a bit thicker n good if your rb's are some undersized

I have used their .60 round ball in my Fowler without problems for over 10 year.

The only problem I have with the Log Cabin is that every time I go in I am broke when I leave and have been known to go home for more money!

 

[Littlebeaver]

Thanks for the lead info. Yeah I've been there a few times. I never ask the wife to come along.

I'll try the blue Jean patch for sure. Got plenty of those.
