I'm not sure about increasing the charge with that big slug. Anyone have any idea what the max powder charge is for that rifle? I may try it with some round ball also, I'm sure they would be light enough to allow a stiffer charge.

I still haven't been able to get the nipple out of the Enfield, I soaked it over night last night with liquid wrench so I will try again when I get home from work late tonight. The flats on the nipple are about rounded off from whoever tried to remove it last so I will probably destroy it getting it out. I wish I had ordered a new one when I ordered the part for the rear sight, oh well. More work on it will have to wait till after this next weeks elk hunt with my son.

Thanks for the info and suggestions.
