Rounball is the plan. What I shot as a kid too. Less than zero interest in in-line or "modern" ML.
I doubt recoil for any will be a real concern. I never noticed it when I was shooting 30 years ago, the son is 6' 180 and a former combat engineer- he can handle it. For him, history is the allure. Same for me but I'd prefer history that puts meat down.
Just noticed 90% of available gear is 50 cal, made me wonder why ppl buy larger.
