Getting back into black powder again. Have been away from it for around 25 years or so. Picked up a nice pair of CVA guns. Kind of a matched set. One is a 50cal. Express double rifle. The other is a CVA double shotgun. The shotgun appears to be unfired, the rifle looks to have been fired very little.
Does anyone have experience with either of these? Any advice would be much appreciated.
I'm looking at using RB in the rifle, with either real BP, or possibly Pyrodex. Am fairly well set up for shooting a 50, still have my 50 T/C Renagade, with all the loading stuff for it. It was the only ML I kept when I cleaned house.
The shotgun will be used for lead shot for grouse, some clays, and would like to use for ducks as well. Not sure about using steel in it, but would like to be able to figure out a duck load.
