I was finally able to scratch enough cash to get a real hand made for me custom .45 Lehigh Valley style flintlock rifle. Checked out the load chart (http://goexpowder.com/load-chart.html) stickied in the thread for starting charges.
I am using a thin cotton patch, .440 RB and spit for patch. SHE SHOOTS GREAT!!! I cast WW for my smooth bores, but think softer will be required for the rifle. Or cast smaller and use a thinker patch? This is a deer hunting rifle, so no twinkie cat-sneeze loads allowed.
I can cast my own RB, so how do I go about figuring out what size to go with?
