Dutch it is a beautiful rifle. And I do think that will be a good shooter. Did you have better luck with the .495 or the .490 ball? My .54 Trade Rifle shoots a .535 that Semisane sent me with uncanny accuracy. I have a .50 Trade Rifle as well, so I might invest in another mold in .495 if these rifles like that. Although the .490 did load pretty stiff in the bore with a .018 patch.
