Very nice. My only advice is to replace the ramrod with a fiberglass or alum one. Its no fun when the wooden one breaks while loading. A 1/2 loaded bullet is dangerous and that ramrod hurts like the dickens when the sharp edge pokes the web of you hand.
I hope it shoots well for you.
She loads easy with .015 / .018 pillow ticking. After 10 shots you'll start to feel them get a bit tighter.
Most broken ramrods are from grasping to high on the rod and then bending it over and breaking. I take 4-5" from the muzzle and slowly work my way down.
