OK, I'll get off my soapbox!"
Russ seez; Get back up on that box, you ain't through yet....I hope. :sorry:
I would like to hear a bit more where you started saying..."I think a lot of the folks using modern muzzleloaders are thinking with "modern guns" in mind and are trying to get Magnum velocities out of their front-stuffer"..........
It makes good, even great, sense to me...guess I just like hearing it. How would you
[url] define...in[/url] terms of weight & velocity..a medium or moderate load?... A "heavy" load?... and a "magnum" load? :hmm:
Lets use a .54 cal as your example.
Use either RB or conical, doesn't matter.
I will start by saying a "light" load, in a .54, is anything under 60gr FFg. using a PRB.....(however, this same "light" load is a favorite among the "paper punchers", who take my money and leave me mad. :cry:
I always thought the Mississippi was a full length rifle...goes to show how much I know! :redface:
