i recently purchased a 69 cal 1842 springfield rifled musket made by armisport and from my understanding these rifles have oversized barrels (around 0.696). this makes finding ammo a little tough. dixiegunworks offers a .694 minie ball which ive been told is perfect for these rifles, however they are out of stock and told me they dont know when they will get more. a guy on the muzzle loading forum says hes got a mold which produces .683 balls which perform great... but he has no idea who made his mold or where i can get another one.
does any one have an idea where i might get molds for .683 balls and .694 minies?
does any one out there make custom molds?
maby i could have someone make me molds for these rounds. thanks all
