If you are interested in muzzle loading, try to work up a deal for the bullets and the rifle that fits them (And the mold). Muzzle loaders are is as short supply as everything else. And those are primo hunting bullets. Look for powder and percussion caps , too

Always nice to find interesting stuff in unexpected places! Now if you don’t have that caliber you have something else too buy!

So, it seems you need to go talk to her Dad without her! Sounds like the two of you will get along fine.
Wolfdog91, don't pass a chance to add to the addiction! ML's are fun and surely add to the experience. A talk w/ her Dad could be fun.

The look like the T/C Maxi Hunter. IIRC Lyman had several bullet molds with similar shapes, but, I believe they were flat nose.

Been wanting to for a while but gotta wait to get what I want. Really want kinda a .32 cal muzzleloader set up to be kinda a target rifel type thing. Seems goofy but it's what I'd prefer.

Not goofy. The .32cal with patched round ball can be very accurate and is popular. These days the .50cal is most common because of the hunters and special seasons. I would rather have a .45 again. I sold two many years ago and regret it to this day.
Visit the muzzleloading section if you get interested.

Not goofy at all, but my flintlock is a .40 caliber A weight swamped barrel. Something else to consider.

I have a Kiblers Long Rifle kit on my list of must haves. Keep him in mind.
