I'm poking around with the 16 bore double rifles this weekend. They share the same bore diameter, but the groove diameter in the short cased gun is larger. I think the rifling twist in that gun is slower too. I want to set my 16b roundball mould up for the short case gun, I'm leaning to conicals for the Mahillon anyway. Does anyone here shoot a bore rifle with roundball? The twist rate in the short case gun is just under one in 100" The brass for that gun is 30mm. My sense is 2-3/4 to 3-1/2 drms of FF will do it for that gun and roundball. Pure lead? If not, what alloy? I should know what I'm going to cast before I lap the roundball mould to size for the alloy I'd be casting. --Tinker |
