Have not shot my BP for a while so went out today with some Hornady 454 round balls that I have had for about 10 years. They were in a sealed box and looked ok but had the aged look where they looked a bit grey and white. They appeared to seat fine and shaved a nice lead ring. Unfortunately they were very loose in the cylinder and even shaking it caused them to move around. Have you guys had that? Is it due to age? Any way to prevent this?
I didn't think that lead corrodes to the point where they would not seat sufficiently.
