Dusty Morningwood 55 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Anyone have a few .58 Minie' bullets they could sell me to test a load I am working on for another oddball cartridge? Just need maybe 5 or 6, just to see if I am on the right track. Edited November 24, 2020 by Dusty Morningwood Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nickel City Dude 312 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I have some semi-wadcutter mine balls. They are pure lead and come out of my mold at about .576. I can size them down to pretty much any size you need. I use them in my target musket and I size them to .560. You can have the six you need just for the postage.

Dusty Morningwood 55 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Nickel City Dude. I can try those, but may be kind of small. I need some that are .585-.590. Original Model 63 Springfield barrel on roller action. Bore is pretty generous, over .610, but hard to measure 3 groove bore. But I can try several. Dantankerous. What diameter are the GP bullets?

Nickel City Dude 312 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Dusty If you need bullets that are .580 or larger the ones that I have will not give you very good accuracy. I can still send them to you but I think they are too small for your barrel. Nickel City Dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
