You're gonna wish you had bought 9s or 9.5s.

Holy Smokes!

Pm sent with my phone #. Call me if you’d like to chat. I’m interested in this.

With chokes. Interesting.

20 inch slug barrel with chokes??? 30 yards. Hmmmm.
If those are 60 cal, thats more than 1.25” center to center.

With .575 balls, the added thickness is what you need to center and align the balls.

Dense veg tan leather. I know a little about that. Used to do quite a bit with tannin extracts from the...

Yes they did start at .570. I’ve seen those posts in the past.

If I were to chase the .570 / 12ga combo, i would definitely find a way to align those balls in a straight column inside your wad...

I’m using a standard Lyman vibratory tumbler.

Those .575 balls are what you need for 20ga, from what I can gather. I wish I had some bc I would love to eliminate these 2.25oz 12ga payloads.

One more thing to complicate the issue a little more. My round balls have a sprue to deal with. I tumble 500 of these balls for 12 or more hours in my brass tumbler to smooth that sprue as much as...

Not a terrible pattern but distance is a little short.

Ok here’s the deal from the OP.

The load that generated that pattern was 3 1/2” with 32gr STEEL. I use 3” hulls with 28gr Blue Dot just the same. Both are roll crimped. Both have 1/4” cork or...

Doubt its the buffer. What size roundball, plastic wad, fillers, and choke are you using? Can you post pics of the spent wads or spent round balls?

Call me Hogtamer. I’m interested. You have my number.

Make them 50% pure Pb and 50% Linotype and drop in water and they will make BPI and PR shot look like marshmallows. You actually won’t need to do a thing, but drop in water if you like. They are...

Funny looking Tri-Ball. Good luck.

Can you offer insight to a good 20ga roundball load? That’s what the rest of us are looking for. Thanks.

James at Dixie slugs was adamant that the round balls are stacked directly on top of each other without anything in between including buffer. I’ve had great luck following this suggestion. I stack...

Looking for recipes including exact ball diameter and wad used in 20ga multi-roundball loads. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yep.

My .602 hard balls run 311gr-315gr each. Switch to a TUPRW12 wad and the fit may be right for a two ball load just under an ounce and a half in a 2 3/4” hull. I have some of those wads on hand but...

I don’t think you’re going to have good results with a standard target wad. The wads, TUPRW123s from PR, were chosen because 3 balls fit in them perfectly and they are the toughest wads with thickest...

I have never cast round balls myself as I am not really set up for it. I had a seasoned blackpowder guy make them for me at 1 part Linotype : 1 part pure lead. I verified that he dropped the round...

Yes the “eroded” or “pitted” surface is a result of the use of the spherical buffer. If you study the balls, you can tell the order that the balls were stacked in the wad.

Here’s some nickel...

That is where the sprue was. I first tumbled the round balls together for several hours to smooth the sprue as much a possible. The balls are very hard so the sprue wasn’t completely smoothed out...

That’s funny but you could very well be right.

Please do tell. I love it when they come together. ...
