Old meat getter still shoots.

[Shine]

I picked this old girl up last week. It started life as a P53 enfield. It was bored Smooth to .658 and turned into a economical meat getter. I suspect it may be a Bannerman gun. Anyhoo.. She still shoots WELL. Shot was 70 grs 2f 1 ounce of number 6 at 20 yds. What thrilled me was I don't have a mold for a .65 caliber gun. So I patched a 600 ball at 20 yds about what I expected. BUUUUTTT then I loaded same ball with just an oiled wad and over shot card and then it shined. I can taste the partridge already.MMMMMM

Looks like you have yourself a winner there.
Lyman makes (or made) a .648 round ball mold which might work very well for you.
