Default Anyone shoot small bore? Experiences?

Hello all, been a while since I have posted in ML forum. Right now I have a CVA Bobcat .50 and load 80 grs of Pyrodex RS behind either a patched round ball or Buffalo Ball-et and am getting adequate results. My plan is to use that gun this fall with the ET's for elk and deer if I can draw a tag.

But I have a gap, kinda like centerfire rifles, where I have a .223 remington for varmints, and a .30-06 for big game.

I have a "need" (actually more like a want) for a small game ML. I see that Cabela's has a Blue Ridge Percussion ML available in .32 and .36 cal. This would be used for rabbits and maybe coyotes.

Does anyone have one of these guys? (or another brand small caliber)?

This may be a purchase in the next year or so, just not exactly sure on the caliber, and which powder to use...ffg, or fffg. Also, how much powder are you using and the patch size? I would imagine the patch size would most likely be the .015" just like the .50 cal.
