Seneca .36 ball question

[tree]

I picked up a .36 Seneca in a trade and was curious if the 000
Buck shot that is rated at .350 would be suitable for this bore?
Anyone know when these went out of production?

I used 0 in a .32 w good success. Now looking for a bag of 000 for a .36.

If you get a good patch/ball fit, it should shoot fine.

Hornady still sells .350 in 5 lb boxes. works well in my older .36 caliber barrel.

I just recently purchased 5 pounds of Hornady 000 (.350) to shoot in my new to me .36 traditions. They seem to work well, but I'm still working up load combinations. I ordered them from Midway as there were none available locally. I went ahead and ordered a Lee mold in .350 from Midway at the same time as I usually cast my round balls.

Thanks for the input. I will give OOO a try and see how they work. I am sure I will have to try different patch material.

I use the Hornaday 000 .350 buck shot in all 3 of my 36 caliber guns. The balls are alittle harder than pure lead balls, but they shoot great, and the squirrels don't seem to notice the difference.
