Thanks for the replies. The musketoon sounds like fun. I have no idea yet what the bloke at the club is selling, only that it’s a 577 musketoon. Time will tell.

I have two Lyman 575 minie moulds which are identical bar the base plugs. The ogive deep plug seems to work better than the shallow flat base in the original Tower Enfields I was casting for. It will be interesting to see what works in a more modern barrel. I also have a .560 lee ball mold for my smoothbore cannon. The minie make interesting full silhouette holes in that at 25yds.

We have a 100 and 50 m range which is only cleared for 22rf. I am trying to convince the committee that the 577 is only a 22 with a worn bore, but no luck yet.

Now we wait for my 1 4 1 to go through!
