TH, Maybe I missed it, however have you actually measured your 10 bore's barrel groove to groove diameter? As Daryl has alluded to, the bore diameter will be different for brass case -vs- paper case rifles. Paper case rifles having a commensurately smaller bore diameter to accommodate balls/conicals that will fit the smaller inside diameter of a paper case. (due paper wall thickness) As well, determining the twist will give you a hint as to whether it is a "round ball only" rifle or one suitable for round balls and conical bullets. In any event the old Jeff Tanner company ball moulds are your friend: https://www.ballmoulds.com Proper roll crimp of a 10 bore paper case with ball or bullet may require modification of a standard shot shell roll crimp tool. AFTERTHOUGHT: TH: It occurs that you maybe already knew all the above, forgive me if I have merely been preaching to the choir. Your 10 bore will give you hours of enjoyment! - Mike |
