Anyone making them? Or anyone that has made them in the past?
I just sized some .490 round balls down to .453 and I'm going to load them in my 45 acp. They're light for this cartridge but not super light.
I'm going to mess with some round balls sized down and loaded in 45-70 next.
The should end up around 135 or so grains. Kind of like a collar button.
Just something to mess with.
Here is one seated in a 45 acp case for shits and giggles.
The sizing leaves a flat band around the middle of the ball to give it a little more bearing surface. This was a .490 sized down so it had a pretty wide band. I'm looking to get some .457 balls or a .457 mold to try next.
Good times.
