As savvy as the old boys could be, sometimes I can't help seeing some prime candidates for the Darwin Award in their antics.. Yes, but if the story is from the small market town of Haltwhistle, I'm a bit surprised there were many guns in the town and also those who did own them may not have had enough experience with them in a dangerous situation, that they therefore made a lot of mistakes? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HaltwhistleGus |

Except for the fact that you get wrinkled balls if your mold is cold...
Regardless, thanks to physics, lead will shrink a certain (and known) amount as it cools. You can make a mold the exact bore size and the cast ball will be marginally smaller every time.

Damn, and I thought it was just cause I'm getting old and they don't see enough use.
