should just need the 209 breech plug.
The last 2 numbers in the serial number will be the year it was made.
54cal conicals are slim, i'd give the 348gr powerbelts a try with 80-90gr pyrodex rs.

the hunterbolt has a firing pin, its not like the staghorn/buckhorn that uses a plunger "solid bolt" with a little bead at the end to set the primer off.
