RE: iron musket balls
 

Anyone know if there is any source of iron musket balls (modern-made; not antique)?

don't you want lead? were iron ones ever made?

none ever made that i'm aware of. try ball bearings

Musket balls were not iron- too light, too hard. Lead is the metal of choice for several reasons- ease of casting a round ball, softer than the iron or steel of my barrel, dense enough to retain energy over distance, plentiful, and CHEAP!

I got your iron balls right here buddy. :D

Jo da plumber is making funny (I'm sure). We are not a bad bunch here, but we do joke around a bit. Sometimes this can come across as azzholish. It is all in good fun.

Ballistic Products has lead free roundballs for traditional muzzleloaders or smoothbore barrels

Try marbles instead.

we all here just like to hear ourselves type. Don't think we are know-it-alls(except for me-I do know it all). talk to us. what are you using them in? have you used them before? don't start a thread and then never come back on. for a cannon? muzzle loading musket? pistol? blunderbuss?

Interesting...what are they made of?
