So the wedge should need to be tapped in place pretty firmly? Are there different thickness wedges?

Probably stupid questions.

Maybe slightly crush the brass side plates to tighten things up?

I just bought a .490 ball mold and have been collecting soft lead for years. Preppin for the end.

I've always hunted elk with either a 30/06 , 220 grain slug or a 300 win mag. How would the knockdown compare to the .50? or is there any comparison.
