    i got some here somewhere so i try and find them
    I'll take a look right now!!!

    Thanks for that!

    Edit - they are not conical to fit the conical indentation - good idea though!! When making them from Isopon or similar you first grease the inside of the hollow base and THEN splodge the gloop in, levelling off with a straight-edged knife. I used to do it with my first Snider back in the mid-80's, and it worked to some degree, but not as well as it did in the Musketoon.

    got 2 bags here tac they are slightly conical .
    they dont need to go fully in as they need to sit slightly proud so when pushed by blast they expand the sides etc.....was going to use on my .577 but never put on ticket and when it arrived some one smooth bored it lol.......was bought at an online auction.
    email address i will post them down to you
