Shiloh Rifle Forums

Have any of you ever shot mini balls in your paper cutter sharps.I have a lyman .54 cal mini ball mold.
I have been trying the mini ball,s in it.I been using those plastic tube loaders, that dumps the powder
behind the mini.

I'm shooting 60 grains of home made corned black powder with very good sucess.I never hear people
say they shoot mini balls in there Sharps.I know I can't be the only one.

I also have a NEI ring tail mold, but so far I think I,m getting as good of results with the lyman cast
mini balls.I'm still early in testing, but just wondered your thoughts.

Howdy I've been using that bullet for years. I have a carbine and a heavy barrel sporting rifle. That bullet shoot very well in both carbine and rifle. There both Shilohs. I also shoot that bullet in a .54 flintlock hawken and I like it. It loads much easier than a patched ball. But yes it shoots very accurate.. I do have a NEI .54 mould that's shoots very good too.
