I am looking for a rifle made in, I think the 70’s ?
It was a black powder and or smokeless ? The gun
had a round breach that Turned to the side to load.
Used loose power and round ball.
If I remember right the .22 used bullseye powder
I think it used a cap Gun cap to fire it.
They were made in .22 .36 .45 I think.

Not sure were to post this.
They were sold as muzzle loaders
I have this posted in the rifle part too
That is the only things that I remember
Any information would appreciated.

I believe that particular rifle was one of Dick Casull's first designs. Never seen one, but I hear they are neat little rifles.
