I fired it 10 times today and all went well.
I used 50 grains of Goex FFg with minie balls from Cabellas lubed with 50% Crisco and 50% beeswax.
Shooting at a man silhouette from 100 yards I hit the right arm first shot!
It seems I need to aim at the left shoulder to hit center mass.
Also, the barrel fouls quickly and the 4th shot was way off and low.
Next time I'll patch it every 3rd shot or possibly after every shot.
For a 150 year old rifle I'm quite impressed, far better than I'd hoped for, it would be interesting to recover a couple minies and see how well they're engaging the rifling.
I'm not too impressed with the home made lube and may try bore butter next time.
Man, if you want to see a fantastic range of "internet opinion" try a search on "bullet lube"!
Chris.
