Enfield Minie Bullets
Posted: 27 Feb 2015 18:51
HELLOOOO ANYBODY HOME ? !!!!
Guess there's a first for every thing !
I recently took possession of a 1861 Pattern Enfieid musketoon , 58 cal. (.577" bore), and bought the Lee 90481-575-500-M mold.
Questions to the forum members, anyone shoot this bullet, do you think stick-on wheel weight lead is soft enough to upset the skirt, or do I need to use pure lead ?
The stick on material I have comes to 6-7 on the BHN scale using my Lee tester. Any
