RE: So, does anybody use plain ole' Crisco as a lube anymore?
That would be very kind of you Cayugad, but, I really wouldnt want to put you to the trouble and expense of shipping lead. Let me know if you find some and Illfoot the bill. I found some round ball.69 at old western scrounger awhile back, they were old Navy arms castings and were cheap. It cost almost as much to ship em as to buy them. Really poor castings though, they have to be trimmed and the sprue markdefinitely has to go up when loading.With and lubed ox bow wad and a pillow tick wad though, they shoot pretty well. I am getting softball sized groups at about 30 yards. Not exactly MOA shooting but well within minute of deer.
