Well guys, I already have two Lyman Great Plains flintlocks, one in .50 caliber and one in .54 caliber. I just acquired another one in .54 caliber that I sure don't need. but was a "can't pass it up" deal.

I'm thinking of going one of two ways.

1. See if Bobby Hoyt or Ed Rayle will agree to re-bore it to .58 caliber with a slow twist for round ball. They may be reluctant to do that because of the 15/16" barrel. But factory production .58's with 15/16" barrels were available back in the 70's. I'd keep the loads down to 95 grains or less.

2. Have it relined to .45 caliber with shallow rifling and a fast twist for shooting those big 465 grain conicals that I have become a fan of.

Assuming both options are available, what would you do?
