Hello Rodders - welcome - there are a number of BP forums, some good, some great and some not so hot. This site gets most of the 'member's form those who shoot ctg. guns, new or antique - many doubles and some bore guns. I-too shoot ML's mostly, at least through the winter time here in Northern BC, Canada. We also hunt with them, my favourites being a 14 bore English Sporting Rifle my brother built for me in 1986, along with a newly aquired .58 Enfield model 1863 Musketoon. The 14 bore is my fovourite, and has dropped several moose for me with it's 484gr. round balls. I also shoot a .45 Longrifle, Lancaster style, a Tennesee squirrel rifle in .32 and a .40 cal. Rook rifle - all with round balls, of course. Only the 14 bore and .58 military rifle are percussion as I prefer flinters nowadays. Even the .58 gets fed round balls only and is very accurate with them, holding 2" at 100 yards. My initial tests with it showed minnies and Lee REAL bullets to hold 4" or larger. The short sight radius doesn't help with fine acuracy, but does still show round balls to be much better. They are also better killers on big game.
