Hmmmm :hmm: How best to answer this one? Actually, you will need to try the various combinations to find out what your gun wants. What mine likes may not be what yours wants. Having said that, I think I'd start with the .490 balls and a .015 to .018 patch. Lube is one of those things that is always argued about but I think I'd try a patch with just plain old spit on it. It is cheap and you have a nearly endless supply. To prepare your patch material, wash it in detergent with no softener. If you use a drier to dry it, do not use any of those little fabric softener towlettes because they leave stuff in your patches that you don't want. If you pre-cut your patches, as you are loading, just put one in your mouth and let it absorb some good old spit. If you cut your patches at the muzzle, just put the end of the patch strip in your mouth to moisten the end of the strip that you are going to use. You want it just damp not soggy when you load it. The .018 spit patch with a .490 ball and about 50 grains of 3f will make an excellent starting point. Try adjusting your powder up in 5 grain increments until you find the charge that gives you the tightest group. You will need to shoot about 3 targets with 5 shots per target with each charge. Be sure to mark each target with the amount of powder you used so you can keep your targets straight. Then go up to the next charge. When you have reached about 80 grains, compare your targets to see which charge gives you the tightest group. I doubt you will need to experiment with your patch thickness. For your patch material, I recommend a fabric called "pocket drill". it is a 100% cotton fabric. If the folks at the fabric shop do not know what "pocket drill" is, just ask for 100% cotton drill.
This ought to get you off to a good start.
