At the Saturday (March 5) Florida Frontiersmen’s seminar, Bill Yost gave an excellent seminar about the history, skill, and art of making muzzle loading lead balls. Bill has been making musket balls says the 80s, and is a wealth of knowledge, yet, as he says, he’s still learning. Bill did not melt any lead for this seminar for safety reason, but has offered to do a class in a proper and safe place.
