So still no love getting this rifle loaded. I finally got around to getting the hammer engraved, built a ramrod and took it to the range with high hopes and some .005" patches. I still could not get a bullet down the bore, much better than the .010" patches but still way, way too tight.

I am toying with the possibilities in my head. The rifle may well have been supplied with a cross patch cutter and or a bullet sizing tool.

My next step is to try to paper patched a bullet or two, that would be the easy way. If that does not work I may make a sizing die, if the bullet was just a couple of thousandths smaller I think I would be in business.

I'm somewhat surprised that the bullets thrown from the original mold are giving me this much trouble. I know the gun left Lancaster's shop shooting bullets out of that mold, I just need to work out how that did it.
