I got into a conversation with a guy who's an amateur gunsmith today while buying powder who says he hand makes his own maxi balls and offered me about 20 if I would come get to his house to pick them up. I got the guy's phone number but I wanted to ask here first as I trust you guys more.

I personally am not so sure it's a great idea.

But on the other hand he swears he shoots them and they work just as good as anything that was on the shelf.

He did offer me a bottle of Pyrodex RS for 8 bucks so I might at least go see him about that and maybe then ask him to shoot one of those homemade bullets and if it works ok make him let me shoot one out of his rifle.
