    I got to shoot my rifle and I love it. First I started out with 15 grains of fff and the gun shot great just wasn't sure if that load would be okay for small pigs so I bumped it up to 30 grains and that little rifle loved it. But that is a hot load for squirrels. So what to do I think? I think...

    .437 is a tight fit for sure. I shoot .435 with a wal-mart pillow ticking patchs. Was thinking about dropping to a smaller size maybe a .430 or so

Never gave it much thought on its caliber but to hunt with it on Fort Stewart it needs to be a 44 cal or larger. So what size of ball is that...
