I havnt tried. It sits at the muzzle. Didn’t want to push it home if it was too tight and havnt been to the range. I am familiar with bp revolvers in which the ball is a bit larger than the chamber, it it the same with smoothbore pistols?
These guys were recommended to me by a member here a while back. I ordered a mold from them and it was here in either 8 or 9 days from England. Make sure you measure and re-measure your bore before ordering. Very nice work. Not as cheap as a Lee but very competitive with a Lyman mold price. They make them any size you want. If your bore actually measures .475 a .490 or .480 won’t fit either.
Took it out today. All I had was a .451. Patched it with denim. Used 25 gr 3f. Hitting pop cans at about 15 feet. I’ll be looking for a .490 mold next. On a good note, no flash in the pan misfires, went bang each time.
Considering it’s a smoothbore without sights that’s pretty good shooting. Might wanna just save your money and continue with the .451s and the patch. You’ll not shoot any better with a bigger ball unless it’ll just make ya feel better. Gets some buckshot instead for snakes and such.
Looks like I need to collect some nest this fall
they all that are made by that Co, are great sparkers & shooters.
bigger balls always make me feel better.
Have heard of some issues with Pedersoli flints. Also the touch hole on these Queen Anne’s have a rep for being too small and long. But mine seems to be doing fine, I just make sure to pick it before each shot and spit patch it each time.
