I too have shot quite a bit of black powder firearms in the past. My recommendation is to stay with a round ball and patch and moderate amounts of powder (either black powder or one of the newer substitutes). I would only load it "heavy" if I was going to hunt with it.JLaw wrote:It's a .50 cal blackpowder muzzle loading pistol, with a 9 3/4" barrell. The assembly and shooting of this kit looks to have a fun factor of 10++, granted the recoil isn't like that of a small cannon!
