[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1085981, member: 69478"] I shoot Civil War muskets and carbine in competition at the North South Skirmish Association and we mould all of our own slugs. Currently we mould for 4 Enfield rifle-muskets, 2 1863 Sharps Carbines, and my 1860 Gallager carbine. The Enfields use Minie balls that we make out of the softest lead we can get. For the carbines, we use wheel weights because they are much harder and work better for the breech loaders and do not foul or lead the barrel one bit. We mould over a thousand bullets in a year because my Dad, Mom, and I all compete and shoot 4-5 matches a year. Each of us shoot between 75-100 rounds in a weekend when we shoot both the carbine and musket events, so we do a lot of moulding and shooting haha. [/QUOTE]
