Just eased up on a 3rd gen Colt 1849 Pocket model cap n ball ..don't have it yet so rounding up boolits and such
The rub is no one(that I can find) makes the conical .31 (about a .320 dia maybe?) which I "think" is going to be my projectile of choice since a round ball is about 47gr and the conical 70-ish
Pretty sure I will find round balls so the hunt NOW is on for either already cast boolits in the Colt dimensions for the 1849 Pocket
OR.............find and/or buy a mold ....
SO..does anyone know of anyone who casts this boolit or anyone who has a Colt "type" mold that casts one round and one conical that they would part with ..I care not about whether it says Colt on it ..just so it throws a Colt type boolit!
I just know one of you yahoos out there has the perfect solution in there hip pocket ..just bust'in to get out!
Thanks and every body be safe out there
