Roundball in a 14 gauge

[Mark Daiute]

What are you using for roundball in your 14 gauges? What are you using for a mold?

Thanks in advance!

Last 14 gauge I messed about with, I used balls cast of WWL in a Lyman mould that was nominally .678". Balls were shot bare, in a column consisting of a lubed .125" nitro wad on the powder, then the bare ball, then a half-thickness nitro wad. Those shot better than the more-usual load of a heavily-patched .662" ball (again, from a Lyman mould). That particular gun was an original, bores actually mic'd about .694" so a tad oversize.

Jeff Tanner in England can make you a round ball mould in any size you specify. He will ship it to you via airmail so you can get it here in the U.S. about a week after ordering it.

His moulds take Lyman mould handles.

I have ordered several round ball moulds from him and have always been pleased with them and his customer service:
