Lead bullet ID

You, Sir, are correct - found some information about baked clay being used (as well as Iron and Boxwood) - never come across this before despite being a BP shooter and friends with a collector of ML Rifles! I'm happy to admit to being wrong but equally as happy to have learned something new, thank you .

Without wanting to derail the thread, what ML do you do, matey?

This is my little cap gun I have on my FAC, .45 calibre. Makes a big bang and lots of smoke!



Best regards,

Simon

At the moment I only have an Italian replica - .58 jager percussion cap, I also use a pedersoli ml shotgun and an ancient SxS .410 that I have to load BP cartridges for, my mate collects genuine Kentucky rifles and uses them to shoot foxes occasionally - he used to spend his holidays in the states each year and bring one back with him, now sadly suffering ill health so not very active .

Fantastic, some good thumpers there ML is very enjoyable, indeed, even the cleaning afterwards isn't too bad. As my revolver is modern and made entirely of stainless steel, I just put it in the dishwasher after a days firing. (Remove the grips, and separate the cylinder first) lol, pretty effective!
