I have a 50-90 and I have a pet full power load and a pet reduced power load. I use cork wads to fill the space above the powder and under the boolit. You can use as little as 50 grains of Black...

Yes, I agree. I wanted to learn how to make guns so I have invested in tools and bits and etc., ...fortunately I have not made too much that has gone in the trash. Yet. ...I sure don't get things...

docone---Yes. I may consider reaming the chamber myself just wondered aloud if I might be better off to just have it done. When I cut and tapped my first barrel and installed the breech plug in a 50...

Wow, those are beautiful. So am I to understand that you can buy these guns now? Are they reproductions or used and from the original era?

I assume these will be for a receiver that can handle...

Thanks for the posts. Yes I own two Frank De Haas's books and was extremely disappointed in that they did not have straight forward Remington No 1 styled ROLLING Block designs, even though his books...
I would try a patched round ball. This is a muzzleloader so, I would try a .695 round ball with a fairly thick patch. The .715's are probably way to fat to get in your muzzles.
I shoot round ball...
