Well done Buck…..

I tried the "Parker" brass (from Track of the Wolf) in my G.E. Lewis 8 bore however the chambers are a bit "generous" towards the base and I got excessive expansion and cracks at the 90º stress point between the case wall and the base. 10 Dram Black Powder load.
With Black Powder I go with turned brass made to the chamber by Rocky Mountain Cartridge and have no issues.
Tanner mould round ball for me.

I will have to try the Blue Dot route which likely has lower pressure and maybe would be easier on the Parker brass?

Gotta love the 8 Bore for style points!
