I'm thinking of using 9 each .311 RB's over 45 grains of 2F in a 69 caliber flintlock pistol. The weight of the boolits comes out to about 405 grains, while a .680 RB would weigh 473 grains. Seems to me like it would be effective against snakes, humans and rampaging armadillos. Do you think it would hurt to kick up the charge to 50 grains? The gun is in excellent condition.
