What would that have to do with the bullet falling out? And - any clue on what caused it to fall out? Improper size, reused?

-My dad and I were shooting his white and after loading the bullet with the ramrod the bullet came flying out when I pulled the ramrod out.. Im not a fan of whites! But you can shoot them several times without running a patch through.. I wish he would get rid of it and get a BigHorn :chuckle:

Post by: buckhorn2 on July 10, 2012, 10:16:28 AM: The pellets made the bullet not seat deep enough to hold it it would work with 2 pellets but not 3 as soon as you lowered the barrell the bullet would fall out. They were the virgin lead bullets for the white. Might work in some whites but did;nt in ours.

It is probably just the bullets you were using... Whites normally have an over bore, so the conical needs to be a bit larger than normal. What/which White do you have?
