I love the old ways. I think what you and Early American are doing with your channels is great. Thanks for sharing!

Ron you should run a playlist....LOVE THIS STUFF. God Bless you and Justine.

I had no idea that people once made their own ammunition, this was very cool to watch so thank you for making the video. It's fascinating how resourceful folks were in previous centuries. We have so much in these modern times but we have also missed out on so much. Thank you for keeping the skills alive and handing them down.

Oh how does that bring back good memories. My brother and I used to cast our round balls and mini-balls using cast off wheel weights back in the 1960's. I still love the smell of burned black powder and greased patches ;-)

I have always found that casting bullets is somewhat therapeutic. It's very relaxing as well as filling a need.

Really interesting to see all the intricate work involved. Thank you for posting.

Well you’re a little earlier on and I was, I did Civil War reenacting for a number of years. This is really cool love you and your wife’s channel. I miss living history.

My husband casts his own lead Bullets for his Muzzle Loader that he hunts deer with. We also cast our own Shad darts for Shad season on the Delaware!

Just fascinating all the intricate details in working the guns at that time. Thank you for your video Ron.

Just realized today you started your own channel. Congratulations! I've already watched all your uploads and subscribed. Now I'm hungry for more.

This was very cool! Ty for posting it!

Adorable Horse!

I used to do it with my dad..and it was 90s:)

I never knew how the ammunition was made 'back in the day' lol! I knew they couldn't just go down to their local gun store and purchase it haha! Thank you, Ron, for another lesson of the past, for keeping this and other skills alive and teaching others how to (maybe) keep up those ways. This could be a good project for a high schooler (with adult supervision, of course!) while studying this time period.

Dangerous materials and work..so fascinating to watch

Master Ron, I am glad to see that you are keeping prepared. You never know when you may be called to service. I was wondering if you smoked your mold before casting. That helps your balls to fall out more easily. I like your loading block. I will need to make one for myself. Even without one I was credited with having the tightest cartridges in the company. Very little loose powder in my cartridge box. Well, keep your powder dry, and as always, Y.O.S. K. E. Baker

Excellent video. I look forward to watching the rest of your channel

I cut, roll and fill cartridges for multiple living history events in my state. I've never seen it done your way before. So much more complicated! And i use Pacon art paper - has a more rustic finish almost like construction paper. Works beautifully. I roll and seal without glue.

This channel is awesome! Well done, sir!

wow, you got some nice balls there,Ron.

I enjoy your informative channel. Thank you

Thanks for the history lessons. Wow!

So cool watching the process

Another fantastic video keep up the good work Ron🇺🇲

Great video Ron 😊 Thank you for posting my fellow Patriot

Keep up good work👍🇺🇸

He's very authentic!👍

Fascinating process, Ron! Perfect motivation to become an excellent shot! Tell me, are the lead musket balls ready virtually immediately for use after coming out of the mold/trimmed?

Nice skill to learn

This was so interesting! Thank you!

I've seen a few videos on your channel Ron but only have a couple more to watch on Justine's Channel and then I'm done then I will float over here to see what you're doing. I like to introduction and I even like the background music that's played in a soft way. Very cool Channel love it you guys are terrific.

Hi! What type of grease or glue did you you to secure the paper? Doing great! Thank you.

I meant to say awhile ago,I love the intro and music.

Cool. I do about the same thing with my cap and ball pistol.

It sure did require skills to survive in those times. People don't really realize how easy things are now...too many uninterested in learning such things. Never know we may need them again. Ay?

Like this video. A work of art.How long does it take to cast these round balls.David Back from Menifee county Kentucky.

Clear and straightforward video. I have cast bullets, sinkers and dive weights with only the heat source changing. The cartridge building was excellent. Thank you.

More, more!

How many hours a week was spent doing this? Thank you for all the energy you put in making these videos

More and longer videos please

Love it

So interesting .... here in UK and elsewhere I'm sure, ammunition was made in foundries by dropping molten lead from a hight from a shot tower. The led was poured through a grid and as it fell the molten led formed almost perfect sphere, the bigger the grid, the bigger the shot....

I have exams tomorrow what am i doing

Reminds me of that scene from The Patriot where Mel Gibson was melting down his deceased son's metal army men toys to make ammo.

Ron, really cool video. Could you revisit this sometime and give a little more detail on the whole process. Keep the great work!

I like the narrow loading block or box if you would … excellent idea.

I love this channel

I love your intro.

This could actually been ASMR since its only sounds...love this video.

I use to make lead bearings the same size for my catapults here in the great Britain. After you cut the ecces of with plyers & give it a squueeze, it would still leave a little tiny thin line around the bearing. So we would put about 50 at a time in a sock & just rub them against each other. After a while they would be perfectly round & shine like ball bearings. But much heavier than a ball bearing of the same size, its amazing how a little line of unpolished lead can affect the accuracy of the projectile flying at high speed. Do you polish your bearings Ron or just load them in the gun?

Verry good job Ron! One of these days I will have to do this. David Back.

Does anyone know any good suppliers of where I buy lead plugs, molds, the tools shown here, etc. Also looking to buy black powder, and maybe a bunch of neat..... what are they called? The little containers that hold 1 shot worth of gunpowder for you on a bandolier?

Imagine if they didn't have a spare table for outside and he made a gunpowder mess on the wife's cooking surfaces lol

That's badass.

Luv your channel.. Do you live in the cute log cabin home?

I hope you don't cook out of the pot you melted the lead in. I'm sure not. Enjoying your channel.

whats the black goop you are using> I imagine a type of glue. Can you link where to get it?

Great how to mate, question though, what to you call the mold and where online can they be bought from? New to black powder. Cheers from Aussie.

Where do i get a caster like this?

KOOL 🌟🎁👊

anybody know where to pick up a mold like that

Sorry I feel I am from that era in my life today. Washington rules of etiquette are always in play. Truly love your videos, it reminds people of where we started in these United States with our freedom intact with Source God rights speech bear arms etc….go back a few years though with true history and teach. She cooks you teach your a wonderful couple..I don’t know how to contact you for insight I have other than here. I make my own powder for 50 cal sulfur salt Peter and willow. Takes 210 grains for todays rifle

Do we know how much gun powder. Then soldiers and common pple used in their rifles?

What size are you casting? I might assume you have the firearm as well, more info on it please!

Need more shooting vids how they will be coming?

where did you get your bag mold

I hope that's not Justine's good pot Brother!

Some commentary would be nice!

Ok just for us old guys show the bucks how to make powder how much powder you used as guess is 65 grains. And ball weight? And don’t wear your short night shirt for last one the look on your wife’s face was such a lady. No expression when you bent over. Been married for 31 years. Well played
