My old CVA Stag Horn with 1/32" pitch shoots round balls very well. i kill a lot of squirrels and rabbits with that gun and round balls. The powder load is 70 grains of Black MZ.


My .54 caliber Fire Hawk with it's 1/38" twist shoots round balls like a laser using 100 grains of Black MZ. i've swatted hogs at over 100 yards with that load.


Tried patched round balls in the TC Encore using 70 grains of powder but the accuracy was not there. Maybe 60 grains or less would do the trick.


i use a tight fitting patch that loads pretty hard. Probably can't get there with a wooden ramrod.


Here's a great article on use of patched round balls in fast twist rifles from Mr. White himself:
