Oh very nice! You did well. Woodward’s rifles are some of the best of that era.

Out of curiosities sake:
- what brand and grade of powder were you using?
- does it have Henry type rifling or more normal lands & groove?

Have fun experimenting with paper patching; it is kind of a learning curve but so period correct.
If you really pursue the original hollow nose express type bullets for paper patching I cannot recommend “Brooks Moulds” highly enough. Steve Brooks will cut you a mould to exactly your specs.
