I guess at 150 pounds and 6 foot, I went over pretty easy. I gained a lot of body mass and find 200 grain loads with round balls reasonable. I think in the field probably 300 grains more effective at both ends. Pics from the 1971 catalog. The gun was sold without sights. I made up sights for it. I had not fired this in many decades. I took it out a few weeks ago to get re-acquainted. Dixie sold a round ball mold, which I got.

Edit: I think Gunner may have me mixed up with a seller/collector down in Conn.


OOPS! smile
