I finally got to shoot the Old Army for the first time this weekend. What a hoot! I am hooked. I was very surprised at the accuracy. I shot lead balls I cast from a Lee mold that throws a .457 ball. The OA shot a little less than 1” at 15 yards using 28 grains of the Holy Black.
I got a few questions.
I only have a few pounds of soft lead and a lot of wheel weight. Can I cast balls out of wheel weights and use them or are they too hard?
I have a Lyman 452664 that I use for my 45 Colt Vaquero. Can I use it in the OA?
If I use a Wonder Wad can I lube the bullet with my regular stuff or do I need to use SPG?
What is a good bullet or conical to use with this gun
Thanks
