So I've recently been gifted a muzzle loader that is not 50 cal and while I can still buy the ammo I figure that I might as well start casting my own bullets, both for the muzzleloader, and in 9mm. So naturally I have a few questions.
With a muzzleloader how big do I want the diamater of my cast "minie balls" to be in relation to the barrel diameter? The gun is a 58 cal. The mould I'm thinking of buying is a .575 . Would this be a good/correct purchase?
For the 9mm. the 6 slot mould I'm looking at is supposed to create bullets with a diameter of .356. Is this what I want and will I need a sizing die? And if I need a sizing die, what size?
Should I get a furnace like this to do the pouring? I was thinking of just using a ladle, but it seems like it my a bit tedious. Thoughts?
Also... Do I really need to put a new barrel in my G19 to shoot lead ammo?
Thanks in advance for the input!
