Round ball alloy
06/09/07 02:04 AM

Hello Folks,

I've been wondering why only pure lead is recommended for patched round balls. I know they will take the weave of the patch on loading and provide slightly improved accuracy as a result of being gripped tightly. On the other hand, would a wheel-weight ball give slightly better performance on game, provided accuracy was sufficient? I've asked one gunsmith who's building a rifle for me, and I'd like to hear other opinions as well.

Thanks, Tom
