Round ball popper loads

[glockster157]

I have been playing with the some round ball loads in my lever guns. I have a box of .375 and .457 round balls. I double coated them with LLA cut 50/50 with mineral spirits. I am currently using 8 grains of Unique with the 375 Winchester and 10 grains in the Marlin 45-70. These are a lot of fun. I just shove the ball into the case mouth and load them singularly. I chrono-ed the 375 load at 1200 fps. I didn't chrono the 45-70 yet. They are not perfect but they are cheap and easy and surprisingly accurate. I was hitting my steel plates at 50 easy and sometimes at a 100. I have to get a box of .310 round balls and play with the 308, 30-30 and 30-06.
