    WTB: .490 Pure Lead Round Balls

    I do not have a mould; so looking for just about 2 dozen or so, .490 round balls in pure lead, I just want to have a small supply on hand for slugging barrels. Let me know if you can help, let’s work something out!
    Thanks,
    namsag

    you can always buy lead roll solder and mash up something for slugging a barrel
    if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead

    I also have two containers of 50 ball each, unopened made by CVA. I'd take $10 for both plus $8.50 for a small flat rate shipping box. Being it is more that 13 ounces, it has to be mails priority through the post office. Lt me know if interested.

    barrel type fishing weights work great and come in several sizes. The shape and the hole in the middle make for easier sizing.

    If you have soft lead and a fired pistol case, just melt some lead into the case, then remove with a kinetic bullet puller. The slug will be tapered and easy to start and not much over groove size. Works great.

    Of course the case is annealed and scrap, cannot be safely loaded again.
