Mate,
wulyu kamunta

Try Wright's "Shooting the British Double Rifle" book on reloading for black powder. I have an Alex Henry 500/450 3 1/4 Magnum B.P.E. Generally I just load it to the top of the case with FFg (I think) and compress the charge as the 350 grain cast or jacketed pill (Hornady) is seated. Otherwise Wright suggests 70 grains of Mulwex (locally made but sold in the US as Hogdon (?) with dacron filler. The Henry shoots 3 into 1 inch at 50 metres.Watch out for tropical climates as you should reduce the charge accordingly. Good on Banteng and Sambar (in Arnhem Land)and does it hit! Strong puurri!!!

lankarnikanu warra!
