Picked up a repo Smith Carbine at the last gunshow I went to. Not really a muzzleloader but not really a cartidge gun either. The "plastic" cases I ordered arrive and I loaded up 5 with 35 gr FFg and an SPG lubed boolit. Wasn't sure the CCI caps would be hot enough to light it off but it went bang. One 3 shot group went into 1.5" at 50 yds.
Lots of dirt and smoke and it sent some blowback into my face.....just enough to let me know I was shooting very old technology. I think I'll try putting in 40 gr to see if it will seal better and now that I know it works may load 10 next time and make a more serious effort at shooting a group.
Anyone else have one of these they mess with??
