    Vintage RB molds

    I picked up four old time round ball molds,the ones that look like ones from Civil War.No markings on them, cast a few and they must be for 36 cal.Only problem is they are not perfectly round.But should be ok for pistol right?I don't have a cap and ball pistol to try these rb's

    You need to buy a C&B revolver to match the moulds. That is what I would do.

    My gun buying days are at a standstill right now! Molds were like dirt cheap that's the only reason I took them.And I thought one was 32 cal.Need new eyes.At least the great grandkids with have slingshot ammo
