What do they weigh ?
Lube them, stuff in 40 grains of FFG throw one down the bore, stick a cap on and give it a go

Maybe not if you live in town though !

sadly it would appear they are .583....bugger! think i grabbed that mold so i would have an excuse to get another one later!! i have the 577 snider mould somewhere as well, but i digress......

just taken the barrel off not prepared to try and get the "plug" off, so might have to get someone to have a crack at that,


and the powder i have is ...........




and yeah this is a 58cal
