    thanks that's really helpful info I think its a huntsman it uses the sb2 frame and its got a plastic primer holder so the hammer strikes the primer. I will try and get a pick up at some stage I haven't taken any pics of it yet its got a 204 ruger 223 and 243 barrels as well its set up with the 243 barrel at the moment and once I get that shooting well ill try the muzzle loader barrel next as they are the only two that intrest me. After using black powder do you need to wash the barrel out with boiling water I heard it corrosive

    Have had a look around on the webb and you will need to prime it with 209 shotgun primer. To clean it just take the barrel off and stand it in a bucket of hot water and dishwash detergent. Use your rod and a patch of cloth and pump it up and down in the bucket. Run a few oily patches up and down the barrel on your rod as per normal barrel cleaning and its done. I just use engine oil.

    This rifles barrel will most probably be the tighter twist for conical or sabbot bullets. If you PM me at some stage I can post you a few
    50cal roundballs and Minie bullets.
    Casting roundballs and Minie bullets you want to use soft plumbers lead. On the Minie bullets I use axel grease for bullet lube and engine oil as patch lube for the roundball (patch lightly dampened). Cloth nappies make great bullet patch , only problem is you generally need to have kids to get the nappies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You will need to experiment with different thickness of patch to get the best fit in your bore.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
