Thompson Center Arms 56 SB

[Bill from NJ]

Getting older is rough.
I cannot for the life of me find my Thompson Center Arms 56 SB manual.
Do any of you fine upstanding citizens have proper TCA info on this model?

I am looking for:
1) Proper Bound ball diameter. I have too many different diameter balls floating around in my black powder stuff.
2) Powder specs and range (FFg/FFFg) for the same.

3) Weight of lead shot (I think it was 3/4 oz?)
4) Powder specs and range (FFg/FFFg) for the same.

I found by collection of 28 ga. fiber wads & cards.

Thank you in advance for the kind assistance.

Regards,
Bill from NJ

T/C used to have a softcopy of their manual on their website:
"SHOOTING THOMPSON/CENTER BLACK POWDER MUZZLELOADING FIREARMS"
In looking just now, I couldn't find it any more.

In anticipation of this when S&W bought out T/C I downloaded / saved a copy of that manual's .PDF file...if if you want me to send it to you, PM an Email address to me.

Again, THANK YOU for the info.

I'm in communication with Claude, and am Emailing it to him to put in the Articles Section of the MLF

That would be a fantastic suggestion.
This way you would not have to personally answer this question time and time again.
Oh, did I ever than you for the help? :bow:
