Hi All,
This is my 1st post and I am totally green to muzzle loading. I have wanted to get into it for some time, but I'm a stay at home dad on a fixed budget, so it has had to wait. I recently picked up a Harrington & Richardson Huntsman in .58 caliber at a local estate auction for $25. The only thing I got was the gun. I have been searching the internet as well as the forum's for info & possibly an online version of its manual, and have found a lot, but I haven't found a manual or recommendations on loads for it. I only wish to use it for deer hunting, and am leaning toward ball & patch, but being the greenhorn, I would love to get any insight as to what works best with this rifle. I look forward to any & all comments.
Thanks, Brett
