I have a Thompson muzzle loader in .54 caliber that was a gift from my brother 30 years ago, I have never fired the rifle, and it came with a set of maxi ball mold and a set of round ball mold. Oh yeah, a double set trigger however it will not cock.
While scratching around in the back of my closet I also found a CVA muzzle loader in .58 cal. it has a 1/66 twist and I found about 100 .565 round balls and some patching. I've shot the CVA in the past and got excellent 100yd groups. I checked a black powder loading manual but could not find anything for .58 1/66 or the 54cal Thompson. Anyone ever load for any of these rifles or has some useful info I would appreciate it.
