Soapstone mould? - parkergunz - 12-24-2018
A friend of a friend bought an old antique tool chest at a recent auction in Ohio. In the box was a round ball bullet mould made of soapstone.
Can any of you muzzle stuffers shed any light on this. It apparently throws 3 different diameter round balls.
Merry Christmas to all!

What a cool find, Mike! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
I would think that soapstone would be a natural: It's inexpensive, and easy to carve, so almost anyone could make a mould with it.
Just my two cents worth...
