Today I became the proud owner of a Lyman Great Plains Rifle in .54 flint (left Hand). I have shot 54's in percussion. I gather from reading the posts that The GPR flinters are made for patched balls and I plan to shoot those. I got some patches and will cast some balls. I have some Triple 7 FF which I plan to shoot. I need some pan powder and I hope to find some tomorrow.
The question that I have is about the pan priming. Also the gun has a flint but it looks a little ratty. I plan to ream out the flash hole with a nipple pick. It seems to me to be the main thing on this gun. I really don't want to load this thing up and then not be able to get the thing to go off and have to go through the hassle of pulling the ball and all that.
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
