Hey Daryl,

First, thank for all your excellent advice so far on round ball loading. I recently ordered a .724 RB mold from Tanner for my .724 bores and while I intend to follow all your good advice on making the RB's and with wads etc.
I did lose your recommendation for powders!

I have Fiocchi 3 inch hulls with fio616 primers. I am not married to them but that is what I bought from BP for my 3 inch chambers in the double slugger.

Obviously, I want to develop as much FPS as I reasonably can achieve. For powders now I have IMR PB and Winchester Super Field, but would buy whatever you think might work better on tossing those big 'ole round balls.

Also to start my tests I was assuming I would first try just straight lead with a small percent of WW and hardening them up with oven and quench. This would make them heavier but conceptually I prefer heavier.

I do hope to get up to BC some day to do some real hunting. My girlfriend's sister lives In BC and bought some pristine land in a very remote area where someday she expects me to help her build an off-the-grid cottage on. I saw pictures of the land and the view of the mountains around it.. Absolutely breath taking.

Thank you again for all your terrific advice and pearls of wisdom!
