I just ordered a .715 ball mould and .015 patches from Jeff Tanner in the UK. Can anyone give me a good formula for casting balls with a wheel weight and soft lead mixture. I still want the ball to load easy. This will be for my Pedersoli Kodiak.

i use a .715" Rapine ball mould for pure lead balls and .010" patches for a snug load that dosen't move under recoil from the first barrel firing but is loadable under field conditions. i tried WW .715" balls and couldn't get them down the barrel without pounding (and i mean literally pounding with a wood dowel and a hammer)them down. i think you will experience the same problem. so i bought a cheap Lee .690" mould, cast up some WW balls and use pillow ticking or .020" patches for cheap shooting. sizing the .715" WW balls down to .705"-.710" works also.
