Thread: Black Powder Witchcraft. Regulating a BP Double Rifle

The rifle came in a period correct travel case with two different belted ball moulds and a set of 13 gauge shotgun barrels that fit the same frame and locks ( but that's another story ).

One of the moulds is a modern Brunswick mould that casts a superb bullet that is sadly 12 thou over size for this rifle ( but perfect is someone had a Brunswick with no mould ).

The other mould is rather agricultural and throws a belted ball with a sharp belt edge and about 14 thou under bore diameter.

All this confirmed when I took a barrel casting in both to compare with these cast balls



ballmould.com in the UK can make me the perfect mould from these barrel castings, less my preferred patch thickness and allowing from the know shrinkage amount of pure lead
