Hi i`m a "Newbie", living in Australia, and have got my hands on a 44cal. Kentuckian,Perc.Cap, seems to be made by Euroarms in Italy.
I can`t find any info on the net about this rifle,and would like a few tips..
I`m firing a .430" PRB, with 30gn fff,Bore butter lube, I tried it with 50gn fff to start but find that 30 is a bit more accurate at 50 yds, though has a lot less ooomph!
My questions...How can I get an approx date of manufacture, approx starting load, and the correct nipple size, the one it the gun is 1/4 x 28 but feels a bit loose at the start of the thread, though does tighten fully, and finally Is it worth having?or were these a lemon?and dangerous...
Markings are JAGER- KENTUCKIAN .44cal. S/N A6413...PN xx9, and Black Powder Only.(all stamped on Barrel)It has brass metalware and patchbox, with a single trigger.
This is my first ML and the bug has got me already, so I want to start off on the right track.
So thanks for your advice,
Roger.
