I have had best luck with roundballs in it. I did have good luck with some Buffalo Ball-ets and I think the 525gr Hornady Great Plains shot well to but those are no longer made.
Try out some Buffalo Ball-ets in it. You can get them from Dixie Gun Works. I think I was shooting 90-100gr FFG with the Ball-ets. The roundballs like just about any powder charge. I like shooting those the most.
The 58cal is a lot of fun! Good luck and have fun
Hey Sharp Shooter, I was using 85 grs. of Goex 2f. but you may be right about any charge. I tried different charges and got about the same results. The limiting factor seems to be my shoulder!!!
Never thought about the Ball-ets, but will give them a try. I didn't know that Hornaday didn't make the GP bullets anymore. Shame, they are a good bullet. I have used them in my .50 & .54 cap locks.
