    Cast vs. swaged balls

    Preferences?
    "They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate? Other stupid people." -- James Carville on the plethora of low-quality GQP candidates in the mid-term election.

                    Is this about muzzle-loading firearms?

                    Or body image?

                          Do balls even lend themselves to the swaging process?

                              Cast--swaged---big deal. If they are not properly sized for the barrel then accuracy will suffer, In this respect then swaged would give the best opportunity to nail that perfect shot. Of course spending time working up the proper load and practicing discharge technique is also important. And let us not forget proper priming powder and nipple selection. Its very important to have properly matched equipment.

                              So who's shooting with mini-balls? (sp. minie', mine' ?)
