My old 2 band loved a patched round ball on top of a light load of 55grns of powder, my Musketoon don't like em. There are a few molds available from the likes
of Lyman etc and iv tried a few bullet types that the good folks on here have sent me but always seem to finish up back with the Lyman 575213 cast out of pure
lead with a
50/50 mix of tallow/bees wax lube sat on top of 70grns of black powder. Freestanding i can usually keep em in a 6" (ish) group at 50m on a good day,
not fantastic but not too bad for my old eyes. Theres something very satisfying about shooting a .577 even if you can't hit the proverbial barn door at first. Loads
of smoke and flames with a very big BANG.
If you want to send me a pm with an address i don't mind sending you a few minnies and some round ball/patchs to try.
Best wishes, Tim
