Civil War Live Fire

[Bad Pete]

Hello from SE North Carolina. Getting into live fire with an original 1853 Enfield rifle musket (relined). I'm an experienced modern firearms action shooter reloader (9mm, .223, 300 blk out). Looking for info bullets, powder, caps, online bullets vs casting bullets and of course shooting.

Definitely plan on attending spring or fall nationals. There are vendors and the back creek shop where you can find all the supplies you need in one trip.

Thanks this is an excellent thread just the kind of advice I'm looking for. I have an original 58 cal Enfield most likely used by Confederates. I'm getting the barrel relined by Hoyt. I'm going to try N-SSA but I'll have to find out if I have the marksmanship skills to handle it
