Where to buy .75 roundshot?

[Shrapnel]

I was wondering if anyone was selling round balls for use in a Brown Bess in Canada? I tried getting some bullets from the USA but I was told export was banned! (obviously, canadians armed with muzzleloading smoothbore musket now represent some form of menace for our american friends...) Will I have to buy a lead furnace and a mold?

Didn't we go down and burn the White House armed with muskets? LOL

The whitewash they used to cover the smoke stains, is what gave it the name.

That's what I was taught, anyway.

you can buy a mold and lead pot from lee has worked for years for me, you should call customs,they told me that cast bullets go as metal not bullets, so go by weight, but why go through all that cast your own ,, wade

You might check around some clubs and see if any black powder re-enactors or rendezvous in your area. Often there are trade tables selling stuff related.....
best bet is doing it yourself , then you can be a supplier to others as well
