Nice rifle Bea Congrats, you gonna bring it on the hog hunt next year?
I have a boat load of .570 round balls for my T/C 58 cal, have never shot them, would a 58 be ok on deer and pigs using a round ball? they are made by Hornady, the rifle came with 8 fifty count boxes.

yes i will use it on the next hog hunt. The 58 would be great on a hog. Bigger is usually better with Black Powder rifles
Well crap,
no round balls in my 58 for me Bea, that damn rifle would NOT shoot 'em, tried two different patches and three different powders, and a multitude of charges with said powders.
Went back to the old standby load of a 600 gr maxi powered by 120 gr 3FG and BOOM, perfect, groups like it always did.
Guess I'll have to stick with the conicals in this rifle.
