Had my repop P53 Enfield for 21 years. 4 deer and God knows how many Yankees. Lyman 575213OS and 70 grains of 3f Goex.
My newest 58 is a Euroarms 1863 Remington. Sweet rifle that I will be rebedding and resighting to be a hunter. She has a 1-48 twist and does well with minies.
With 60 grains of 2f Swiss, that Lyman moves out at 1062 fps. Even though she weighs 9 pounds, you KNOW you pulled a trigger! My mold is supposed to drop a 460 grain minie.
It drops a 505 grain. A bit heavy for an Old Style!
I can, using paper cartridges, with an empty musket load, aim and fire 3 shots in 52 seconds. And hit what I'm shooting at.
Reenacting has its benefits!


Keepin my back green and my powder dry.
The LORD bless and keep you
