So Ive convinced myself that I haven idea what I'm doing. Here's what happened. Took the rifle to the range after work (with my new 1860 revolver)with some 777, .57 round balls, and cotton patches of undetermined thickness. First problem - this gun didn't like to fire. I usually had to take off the nipple and put powder down the hole to get it to fire. Next issue: a lubed patched ball seemed awfully hard to ram down the barrel compared to my boys .50. I eventually had to cut the patches and stretch them a bit to work. 3rd issue: this thing has a trigger pull of a about 20lbs or so. Which contributed to my final issue which is a 6" group at 25 yds.
So I proceeded to work on the trigger pull using a method on the NSSA site and then broke the sear spring : (
Otherwise I still love this gun!
