Thanks for the plug LeRoy, your the best, good cast bullets for these old guns or replicas will be cast 25 or 30-1, individually weighed, segregated/inspected, sized to your barrels specs(or as quoted by Shiloh), lubed with a proper black powder lube. That is how you would do it yourself for the best chance at accurate loads at long range, that's how we do it. This is not the place for hard machine cast bullets with hard "shipping' lube. Read as much as possible about gun/fouling mgmt. when shooting, proper use of the blow-tube...eg: you must huff into the barrel via the blowtube, it's like warming your hands when cold, you "huff" on them, not blow on them, you need the warm humid air to work with the BP lube to keep the fouling soft so as to not affect the accuracy of subsequent shots.
Determining your overall length is another chore that is worth spending time on as it is something you only have to do once unless you change powders or bullets, it's important to accuracy and lays out the exact charge of powder you should be using...Is any of this making sense? PM me if your shaking your head alot!!!
