Peter that is a marvelous find. Way to go. I am jealous, of course.

To save you the trouble - just ship it over & I'll clean it up for you and work up some terrific round ball loads for it - possibly 9 drams would be about right for a 650 to 700gr. ball. Probably even shoot to the sigths? I'll supply the brass, primers balls and powder. Man - what a BEAR rifle!
