  • I am gathering what info i can on a rifle build. I have a .40 cal .400-.408 bore x 32" 1:24 twist n was pondering a rock sparker or caplock build. My main hunting game will be the deer using 175-290 gr projectiles. Reason is i doubt the prb's would be accurate with powder loads from 45-75 gr of 3 f.
 
I like to use caplocks for rifles shooting conical bullets because the much higher pressures generated are pretty hard on flintlock vent liners. It does work, they just don't last long. Neither do nipples depending on what the load is. Just something to think about.
