I have read a few folks mention that these pistols will split/crack the wood if you use the max 50 grains? How many have had this happen? I'm leary of ruining my new .54, and so far have not put over 35 of grains of Pyrodex through it, although this seems like a mild load pushing a big .54 caliber round ball. Has anyone here taken any big or medium game with one of the Lyman pistols? Also, do you strip out the lockwork and clean that as well after shooting? The guide doesn't mention it, but it seems like the BP smoke/grime might work it's way inside after a long shooting session.
