RE: Pa hunters
I use my .54 caliber Early Lancaster flintlock custom rifle I built in 1994. I've been using it ever since. Befor that is was the same caliber in an early fullstock custom built Hawken. I use a .530 roundball in a .015 cotton patch on top of 75 gr of FFg Goex black powder. That has been the same for both rifles. It just worked out that way when I worked up the loads. I've been using a flintlock since 1987. That's when using my Winchester 30.06, with my reloads, was no longer a challenge. Just my preference. To each his own.
