Childhood dream: original M1861 Springfield rifled musket

[gsimmons]

I use a 350gr. Wadcutter and 40grs. At 50 and 100yrds. I've also started to use the Lyman international bullet at a 100yrds. It's a little heavier and has more bearing surface.
You should be able to hit a clay pigeon sized target consistently at 50 yards and a 4x6 tile at 100 yards. n-ssa.org may be of some help.
