RE: need a few lead balls

I have used both of these round balls in their respective caliber with success. The key is the correct thickness of patch. .015 has worked well for me in T/C guns; but a slightly thinner material could be used if they seat too tightly in yours.

RE: need a few lead balls

Balls are only about $10 a box and I feel 3 rounds is not a fair trial because you may need to find a different patch material to accomidate the new balls.

Good luck with your experiment.
