My old musket I bought new from Navy Arms in 1976 for 78.00. Has been shot
many thousands of times. Got the 500+ grain Lee Minie Ball mold. With 180
grains of Goex FFF Black Powder and that bullet, it is the equal of the 458
Winchester mag. Me, I shoot 55 grs Goex FFF and a .015 Teflon patch and
a .575 round ball. It will shoot under 1 inch groups at 50 yds. Has the 3 groove rifling with a 1-72 twist. 1 lb. trigger and a Tresco nipple for no 11 caps. If I only could have one Black Powder gun, this would be it.
