Silver Minie Ball

[andy52]

My grandpa used to hunt werewolves using silver bullets. They also are effective on witches.

Dang, I didn't know we had werewolves in Missouri..

With Silver closing at 19.75 oz. these Minies should only be about $25 a pop How about Gold, it's soft and heavy, it would make a great but pricey bullet at around $2500 Balls would be more economical

Well…if your disposable income is that great…heck yeah…let’s do it.

Many years ago the late Lynton McKenzie and I cast some gold ball for his flint duelling pistols and fired them indoors , performed just like lead!!
At the time I was living in the famous old gold mining town of Hill End and making part of my living by fossicking, but only a small part. the rest was coming from hard work in the bush.

I was bored and had a .999 silver minie ball made. Tad undersized (smaller than the cast lead bullet the mold was made from), so I won't even consider shooting it. Maybe I'll make/use a silver round ball one of these days for the hell of it.

If I had my casting equipment setup, I'd volunteer to do it.

Oh yes Sir! We can hear them howling away down here in Arkansas. I've never seen one though, you'll have to show me one sometime, LOL!

Thanks for the new word Fossicking. Had to look it up.

Huh?

I was referring to the Lone Ranger, and his horse, Silver. The Lone Ranger used silver bullets. His horse was named, Silver. You did make a silver bullet, didn't you? I was making a joke.

I got it, so don't feel bad. He certainly didn't say, "Hy-o Ed, awaaaay!"

Sasquatches too!

 

[Rock Home Isle]

Huh?

Shhhhh….It’s name is ”Silver”

 

[Treetop]

How heavy a powder charge do you need for werewolves?
100 grains of 3f?

68 grains of fff with a .440 cast in .999 silver seems to lay them out. Lube your patch with blessed anointing oil for a tight seal.

For cleanup, some warm holy water and a dash of dawn dish soap.
