The 533-410M (533 Diameter) 410 Grain one, to be specific. The boy and I wanna try them out in our 54 caliber rifles...BUT...we know nothing about Minie balls. Do they load without a patch? What powder charge for a 410 grain bullet? Any special tricks, tips, ideas? Just curious.
B TW, that is one BIG heavy boolit, cast today by me of soft lead, wonder what kind of evil mess it could make hunting.
Oddly enough, the mold dropped easily hot or cold, but it took a while to heat up. Once it did, it worked great, never got stuck. I couldn't find my casting gloves, first time I've cast since the move and divorce...so I used my Mechanix gloves. Important safety tip - don't do that. Mechanix gloves have plastic in them, apparently. Oops. Off to Walmart for another pair next week.
