Article: The Remarkable Roundball is Right for Breechloading Rifles Too

[L Ross]

When I loaded .433" round balls in .44 Colt, and .360" round ball in .38 spl. I put a mild roll crimp just past the middle of the sphere. Of course under the ball was a case full of 3fg black and a felt wad soaked in melted Crisco and sheep tallow.

On a slightly different note, I have a bunch of Lee 105gr round nose for 9mm that don’t work very well in 9mm and they aren’t too far from a round ball... They may be perfect in light 38 special loads, especially for my daughter and wife to practice with. I have a much better truncated nose mold and also sold the Ruger P85 that they shot well in, not so good in my Glock 17.

When I switch the dillon over to 38/357 I’m going to try some...

Those work better in .380, I always have feed issues with those little ones in a 9mm for some reason, same thing with the light weight TC but wife's .380 eats them right up.
