Does anyone know a source in the area of Las Vegas to get balls in .375 and .454 diameter for BP revolvers?
I pay $ 24.50 + 7.5% tax for 500 of 230 gr Lead RN, sized and lubed. The plain round ball in .375 cost me $ 35.00 and in .454 $ 40.00 for 500 + tax. That is insane.
Casting myself fails because of my rare leisure time. If I don't get a better source, I'll just give it up. It's fun, but more and more I feel like a sucker (caps are more expensive than primers, despite the very much more sophisticated technology of primers, Goex goes for $ 20.00 a pound -sure, + tax-, W 321 goes for $ 15.00)
I think the BP shooters, at least here in the area, are taken by P.T. Barnum.
