    .79 Cal RB?

    I’m trying to help a friend track down a RB for this caliber, or some way for him to cast one. Any suggestions?

    B'eye, Look up Jeff Tanner round ball moulds (sic). I think he'll have what you're looking for: http://www.jt-bullet-moulds.co.uk/

    Thanks so much-I will pass this along.
    He mentioned a “Swedish smoothbore .79 cal cavalry pistol”
    Caplock.

    That is probably the m/1850 Flankörpistol, it was supposed to be loaded with six .35" balls if memory serves me correctly?

    Very helpful, will pass along.
    Makes more sense than a small cannonball.
