rigbymauser;
Nice rifle and not a bad price either. These are
powerful beyone your wildest dreams when loaded up to
the original level.
Brass cases are available in the US. Mine have lasted
8 loads each and still going.
Light smokeless loads are available, but may not
regulate very well in this rifle. I tried a few in mine
and never was able to get it to shoot as well as black
powder. This one is a 3 1/4" chamber, so it's probably
regulated for 8 drams or maybe more. Recoil should be
quite impressive.
You do not need a press or dies to reload this case.
Just hand load on the bench.
Bullet moulds are easily found once you know the
actual groove size. Round ball or short conicals.
This would be a great driven Boar rifle in Europe.
Good Hunting
