For my birthday yesterday my wife got me a Traditions Deer Hunter rifle kit. I have never had a front stuffer but I am familiar enough with one to not blow myself up. I reload rifle and pistol cartridges so I'm well aware of standard warnings.
Anyone know a good place to start on one of these? I want to run a round ball and patch. Not sure what size ball or patch to get. I was also thinking a sabot slug for hunting if it proves more accurate. The only black powder or substitute I have used in firearms has been 777 FFG in 44/40 cowboy loads. I don't mind loose powder. The booklet said 100 grains was max charge, 65-80 grains was most accurate.
Suggestions?
