Hi All
I just picked up a 1863 Springfield rifled muzzleloader replica percussion rifle its 58 caliber and new to me . I would like an education on this I'm not brand new to muzzle loading but have a more modern type.
Looking for Standard load, bullet weight, Powder load, the muzzle measured ruffle .575 to .578. I believe I read it fired a 58 caliber Minnie ball or round ball and patch. Also is there a good source online to order 58 caliber Minnie balls to get me started and what would be a good percussion cap to start with.
Thanks All !
