I received my two Tolleys this week. They are a bit different.

The 10 is a hammer gun with 32" barrels, weighing 9 1/2 Lbs. It is cracked through the hand (already known). The action is buffed smooth. Damascus barrels. Two leaf sights, 50 and 100 yards.
The bore diameter are identical in both barrels (smooth), .756" to about 28", 2" of relief expanding to 760" then back to 756".
Questions - Should the round ball be sized a thousandth or so under .756"? How much powder?
Any way to take the shiny surface of the action to a more dull surface??

The 12 is a boxlock, straight grip, 30" barrels, one flip up leaf sight. The bore is .722 (smooth) with the last 2" choked down to .719". The last two inches has invisible rifling. Again, what size round ball and how much powder.

Unfortunately, I just had rotator cuff surgery a few weeks ago and will not be shooting any time soon ( I can not even mount either gun!), but this will give me time to get the components together.

Your opinions are appreciated.
Thx
John
