I tried my first round with a patch and couldn't fit it at all, this just lubed the round up and popped it in. I was using newsprint thickness paper for the patch. When cleaning your rifle, how clean do you go till? Like I ran must have been 20 patches through and tore up an old shirt and soaked...

Its a pritchett ball, not a round ball, and I bought .577 caliber pritchet balls which is the caliber of the Enfield. I shot off 12 rounds standing un supported. At 50 yards I hit my target most times, I will shoot next week for accuracy.

The patched round is too big to fit in the barrel, I just coated the rounds in bore butter before putting them in the cartridge. Although i did put the paper coated in bore butter i used for the patches before ramming the round down.

Im making paper cartridges that I will ram down as wadding is that the same thing? I did some research and yea they need to be patched but those pritchets are .550 these are "SWAGED .577 ENFIELD BULLETS" Do I still need to patch them?

I have a 3 band euro arms 1853 enfield. Most people say they started at 60 grains and went up to 65 by the end of the war, im sure those are rounded numbers. I was going to start at 40 shooting targets at 100 yards. I bought 50 .577 smooth side mine balls which is what seems to be the historical...

Yea, I did the math on the barrel it says 3 drams black powder which is 80.5 grain so I will not exceed that, and when I go hunting il use 60 or maybe 65, but il do some research.

I recently purchased a reproduction p1853 enfield. I am looking to go target shooting and this coming deer season shoot some deer with it. I have received plenty of excellent advice about load amounts but I hear that the euro arms and armi sport reproductions are not designed to handle past 60...
