Buffalo Ball-ets...
« on: May 31, 2024, 09:39:20 AM »
I have 4 or 5 boxes of these Buffalo Bullets Ball-ets in 54.
They are a pretty short conical..I've never tried one even, always shot prbs (other than in an inline) Are they any good at all in a slow twist rifle or should I just trade them off for something else useful?

I've never tried any of those Joe. But I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to find the right ingredients to make those things shoot accurately. Do they still make those things yet? If not, maybe you want to hang onto them and maybe I'll see you on Antique Road Show someday.  :luff:

Yea they work but you'll need to spend time and work up a load, a bit more recoil pushing that chunk of lead.
