Lead round bullets .363 (.36 Revolver)

Each ball is cast by hand and 100% checked for quality!

100 pieces of lead round balls for rifles and/or handguns in caliber .363

Diameter (approx.): 9.22 mm

This caliber is ideal for shooting long or short guns or, for example, with a .36 caliber percussion revolver ( please measure the cylinder! ).

Of course, a plaster patch is not required for a percussion revolver. The bullet should be about 0.1 mm larger than the cylinder diameter, as it can then be firmly inserted into the cylinder using the loading press. The barrel is normally slightly smaller in diameter than the cylinder chamber, so that the lands and grooves are cut into the bullet as it enters the barrel, giving it its spin.

This ball was rolled in a drum and then treated with wax and graphite (see picture 3). This means that it no longer has any casting slugs.

From now on I will roll (drum) lead balls and treat them with wax and graphite.
It is clearly visible that the casting slugs and possible casting burrs have almost completely disappeared.

The advantage of casting is that there are no cavities in the bullet, because the air can still escape from the top of the mold. During pressing, cavities can appear in the lead, which cause the bullets to have very different weights and therefore different impact positions. However, these pressed bullets do not have a casting slug.

With this method I now combine the advantages of casting with those of pressing. Uniform ball weights and NO casting slugs.

Tania Heber (German Champion, European Champion, World Champion in the various muzzle-loading disciplines) would also only use rolled bullets!
