Ran out and bought 25 lbs of 7 1/2 shot on account of they didn't sell it in smaller quantities, prob'ly enough to last me about the next 40 years grin Or about 250 dove loads, allowing for some loss while pouring in the field.

Just as well, turns out lead shot ain't nearly as cheap as it was.

Now I got my work cut out for me, good to have a deadline to meet. Gonna be interesting tho, I was previously expecting to be working up round ball loads in that flinter first and have 100 .60 caliber lead balls on hand for that very process.

Hope no one has an objection to me bringing a muzzle loader on this thing.
