this question is about a custom muzzleloader with barrel steel strong enough for modern guns.
If one put 250 grains of FF or FFF black powder in a .58 caliber muzzleloader behind a 500 or so grain minieball, do you think most of the powder would be burnt in a 28" bbl?
What would be needed,a longer barrel or a larger caliber bore or faster powder?

p.s. not everyone is the same size,strength,tolerance etc when it comes to recoil and things you may find uncomfortable others may not and vice versa.I was really wanting to know about the powder burn etc.I thank everyone for their input!
