I recently bought my first smoothbore, a .36 cal Ethan Allen SxS caplock pistol (obviously not an original) which takes .350 balls. I bought a box of Hornady swaged balls but being the frugal guy that I am I saw that 000 buckshot is the same diameter. Hornady 000 is also swaged and while it is a bit harder and lighter due to the antimony content, I think it will work just fine [ Invalid Attachment ] . The lead balls measured .351" and weighed 65.1gr and the buck .3505" and 63.6gr. The attached photo shows the unscientific experiment where I wacked each ball with a brass hammer with about the same amount of force. Buck comes in a 5# box, so I saved $5/100 by buying that instead of the pure lead, plus, if my numbers are right, got about 35 extra balls to shoot.

Just wondering when to expect shipping.
  Has there been anymore interest.
 I would think more folks would have jumped on this.

Once the deadline of June 7th passes, I will place the order. It will probably take a couple of weeks for them to get the shirts done and then I will mail them out.

No, Kevin, there has not been much interest. I think a total of 8 have been sold.

@Miner’49er, gotta a link for that?

I need to start a notebook. Good idea

I suck at Math, Salty, I just like to shoot. Kentucky windage and guesstimation and a notebook for what works.
