Ah. We already shoot conical hollowpoints, and I was just wondering of the effects. I have seen molds sold in the past in Dixie Gun works. Thank you.

If you want to cast your own (quite easy to do) Lee makes Minie molds if a variety of calibers, including 50. It likely won't shoot as accurately as a round ball though & certainly won't do a better job. A 50 cal roundball has a long history of success filling the larder.

It would be very difficult, although not impossible to cause a musket or rifle to explode by hammering the ball home, but I love to see people I'm competing with do it. It gives me a decided accuracy edge! ;) An undamaged ball is an accurate ball.
Cheers!

@r6mmbr Yeah I figured as much. I've watched so many demonstrations of firing these sorts of rifles and they push the ball down much gentler and easier. Haven't seen any of those guys' faces blow up.

The only reason for hammering the minnie ball that hard is to assure poor accuracy. They're cast from pure, dead-soft lead & need to be handled with care if reasonable accuracy is expected. I shoot a lot of black powder & nothing bugs me more than some neophite pounding the hell out of the ball with his ramrod. FOOLS!
