    What is the twist ? , The old lead round ball with patch is always a good bet , I have some 45 maxi balls and minies but have slow twist flintlocks so I stay with the round ball 440 size , another question is what make and length of barrel ?

    Not sure why or how I ended up with the maxis , bought the minies a long time ago for what I am not sure of either .
