Just acquired a 15b beast of an inline gun that was put together using a 27" inch section from a WWII 50 cal machine gun barrel. Probably not your average ML. Barrel length from breach is 36". Takes No. 11 caps.
The former owner only shot patched lead ball. But with the rifled barrel, I'd like to take advantage of that twist (rate unknown) for several hundred yards down range.
Brand new to Muzzleloading so don't hold back. I want to not only understand the basics, but would, of course, want to load for the potential of the rifle. Please feel free to suggest type of powder, mold, lead makeup, powder coat, lube or whatever comes to mind and links.
Although this would look awesome over the mantle, I feel there is real potential here.
I would post a pic or two here but I'm not too tech savvy, but can send via email at least.
Thank you all ahead of time. This sight is so full of knowledge it's overwhelming for the first timer. Like anything though, the more times you visit, the maze begins to reveal itself.
