Man, thanks for the quick info. To keep things simple I think I will go with maxiballs and Pyrodex RS for this hunting season. I did get the nipple off. I also found the box of "stuff" that was with the gun. No powder or caps but a new stainless nipple and several other items and cleaning solvents etc.

After a good scrubbing and lube tonight I hope to put some rounds through this tomorrow. Gotta make a run to my local hunting store this evening.

Iwill do more research for loads but will probably give 80-90gr RS w/370gr maxiball a try and go from there.

Thanks again fellas...pls keep the info coming. I will also try out the forum search.

Tony
