Beretzs, speaking of a badass 58, I bet IdahoLewis' 58 will easily handle 200 grains, cast those balls at 16 to 1 alloy and you'd have a hole blaster extraordinaire.

I know Gunner. I’ve looked at that big devil a few times. If it is still around after Christmas I believe I’d give it a whirl.
What a cool deal to get in on an elk with the big 58.. now that’d be something.

One thing about Gunner. He doesn't fart around with Casper Milquetoast loads. Just sayin'. Same feller I know...

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Many Thanks Dan and Judman, you know rule number one with muzzle loader hunting after the shot is to immediately reload your rifle, you then go back to a participator and not a spectator, that said, you can see that bucks right eye is closed, I saw that as I walked up on him, I have never yanked my Colt SAA 45 out any faster, I trained the revolver on his head looking for breathing, eased over to see his left eye open, never saw that before.

LOL, Damn! I'd keep a big hand wrapped around that nipple on the bottom, you could have a bump BOOM! with that one, bet it's a hell of a fun rifle to shoot and fool with.

Nice "Winder" rifle , 30-338! I had one built by Leonard Day. 45 x 45 cal. long time ago. Flinter with 13/16” AF bbls. That thing was as heavy as a dead Baptist preacher. I traded it off for something. I can’t remember what??? Almost 40 years ago.

Kaywoodie, This one resides in a certain safe in Wichita. I just found it a very interesting piece that is also for sale to the lucky lefty shooter.

It would be a blast to shoot, hell, even an easy 90 grains of 2F in a 58 is a mean sombitch under a round ball.

Sure looks like one of Leonard Day’s old actions. For years he was about the only one offering them. Hopkins&Allen offered up a cheap version back in the 70’s. Not near the quality.
