Picked this gun up expecting the worst to use the action in a chunk gun build but it showed up much nicer than expected. I at least want to fire a few, and even though it came with a BUNCH of handmade swaging equipment, I've yet had a single post on ANY board to point me in the right direction on how to use them. So, I'm going to start from square one and find a bullet. It's a 30" by 1.5" diameter .44 caliber with a 1:18 twist like a Sharps. Set up for cross-patched paper patch. I'm assuming a lead conical in the 1.3" length range and 400'ish grain weight is what I'm looking for. Any advice (and feel free to check out my post in the swaging forum to see all the swaging dies I'm speaking of) would be appreciated.
