Hello,
I've been trying to find a place that sells pre-made .58 minie balls for live firing in my M1861 and M1841. I tried searching through old threads and found plenty on casting my own bullets, but have yet to find anything on purchasing bullets. It would not be easy for me at this time to go about casting my own bullets, but I want to ensure that I get ones that are correct if I bring them to a living history, where I will be showing bullets and cartridges to the public. I know dixie gun works carries many different manufacturers, but those that do include a picture show decidedly modern, NSSA style bullets, not period Burton conicals. I was hoping someone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction.
