The rifle arrived a while back and I'm just getting around to playing with it. It is a nice rifle that still needs a bit of love. Some small wood repairs were required, I fashioned up a temporary Hickory ramrod until I get the time to make a proper ebony replacement, a new nipple was fit to the oddball threads(.235"x32tpi), I lucked out and the barrel key was there so I thought I was ready to give it a go, not quite. The thinnest patch material I had on hand was .010" and that was just too thick. Some .005" pre-lubed patches are headed my way. It is a much lighter weight rifle than my Wm. Moore 14 bore 2 groove rifle, it weighs 6&3/4 lbs. The rifle is bored tighter than expected as well, the bullets drop at right around .620". I'm thinking 2&1/2 to 3 drams max.
