None of my reloading manuals has data for silver bullets.

I guess we're on our own working up loads.

Musket balls!

I went to Hunter Safety Class last fall, and they brought in a bunch of replica black-powder guns (we didn’t get to shoot them, just look at them). I just loved the wheel-lock - it’s like a Zippo that shoots.

Watch a Lone Ranger movie and see if his gun bellows out smoke. You would know then if he used black powder. I’d nearly top off a case with Goex FFF and press the silver bullet in to the crimping groove.

Some years ago, one of the gun mags had an article about silver bullets. They cast some silver bullets and shot them.

My vague recollections: Not too good results, harder than lead, trouble cutting sprue, maybe didn’t fill out the bore, not sure if they came out of the mold at the right size. Accuracy suffered.

“Perhaps this will identify me.”
