Lead round balls .719
Each ball is cast by hand and 100% checked for quality!
50 pieces of lead round balls for needle guns or muskets, such as Brown Bess, in caliber .719
Diameter (approx.): 18.25mm
These balls are almost cannon-like in size!
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.
You can clearly see that the casting slugs and any casting burrs have almost completely disappeared.
The advantage of casting is that there are no voids in the ball because the air can still escape from the top of the mold. When pressing, there can be voids in the lead, which result in very different weights of the balls and therefore different hit positions. These pressed balls 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 cast slugs.
Tania Heber (German champion, European champion, world champion in the various muzzle-loading disciplines) would also only use the rolled balls!
The balls in the shop are gradually being changed. If these are rolled (tumbled) balls, then this will be explicitly mentioned in the description. Otherwise they are just cast.

Diese Kugel wurde nach dem Gießen in einer Kugelmühle bzw. Trommel-Polier-Maschine für mehrere Stunden mit Graphit und Bienenwachs behandelt. Durch das Trommeln wird das überschüssige Material des Gussbutzens umgeformt. Die Form der Kugel wird dadurch leicht unrund. Dies ist technisch bedingt nicht anders möglich und kein Reklamationsgrund. Der Kugeldurchmesser bewegt sich in einem Toleranzbereich von ca. ± 15 Hundertstel. Durch die Zugabe von Graphit und Wachs entsteht außerdem eine schützende Schicht, die die Kugeln vor Oxidation schützt.
