RE: Just a reminder

RE: So, does anybody use plain ole' Crisco as a lube anymore?

I cast my own .58 round ball and sometimes minnies. My zouave really doesnt like minnies though and the reason I went to a .58 was for round ball knock down power. I bet that .54 of yours points like...

That big ol flat nosed 525 slug would be serious medicine. My twelve gauge can't weigh 6 pounds. I might have to pick up my teeth after lighting off one of those puppies.
