When I was growing up Momma's six point was hanging on the wall that she took with a 32-20.
For a muzzleloader I'd like to have a flinter .36 with a twist fast enough to paper patch .38 pistol molds.
Did I miss the range report on the TOW 32 Maxi-Ball ?
There is one on EBay now! $99 buy it now price! Steep price for a Lee Mold!.....john

Has anyone shot the Lee Maxi yet! If so how's accuracy! How much Powder! Sure would like to know, before shelling out the Bucks for a Mold! Money is tighter since retiring! Doesn't multiply or replenish like it did when working!....john

The lee mold is just a 6 cavity mold of the old TC maxi design, Its the same exact thing, just more per pour. the weight can vary though, depending on the purity of your lead. Old TC specs claim 103 grn, but I can get 108 or more with some lead ingots I have. (Im guessing just pure lead) and TC must have been figuring old Wheel Weight antimony percentages or something The accuracy and charge will depend on your particular gun, they seem great in a cherokee 1-30 twist, and shoot good from a 1-36 of mine, But I havent had as much success in a 1-48 twist yet. Really havent tried hard as those arent the guns I plan to use them in. Im sure good results can be achieved, I just havent worked out the load yet. They all seem to improve with an over powder wad. Havent really perfected it yet, but any wad seems to work. (felt, cardboard, a wadded dry patch...) Ive shot them to 100 yards on a calm day, with 25 grns black, they drop a bit, ( I forget the exact now to 100..Im thinkin it was like 5-6 inch or so, if I remember right) but I was ringing a 5 inch gong with regularity
