pellets 777 50 gr

No, pellets are not usually used in sidelocks.
It's possible that they might work with the musket cap, but pellets would probably ignite much more reliably if 5-10 grains of loose powder were loaded under the pellets.
 
arcticap + 1

Good call and you won't have to worry about ignition. My optimun target is 70gr. loose and 90 - 95 loose for hunting. Anything more than that and I'm sprinkling the grass. I also use a musket cap in one of my Hunters. .... ;)

will just stick w loose 777 about 80 grains w either rb or conical
Good choice and play with this measure, either way to determine your optimum. ... :)

Be Safe !!!
 
70 80

was letting me get it to group @ 50 yds so for hunting i'll work in that range and see again what it'll do liked how the recoil was at 70 with a 320 grain conical and 50 cal rb

point of aim was ontop one another w rb and conical at that yrdg
i know everyone likes pic have those of the carbine and the conical

Good Pic. and good luck !!

Looks like you have a Lyman Dear Stalker made by Investment Arms, . I hunted with one of these for a couple of years and they are built to last and very accurate for the range. I too used 777 in this one and when you have you get a shot-string you like, share it with us. As far as the Conical, I don't see one. ... ;)

Be Safe !!!

Looks like the Lee R.E.A.L. conical and I have always had a hard time loading these. Sounds like they work for you. ... ;)

Be Safe !!!

If it came from Cabela's it's an Investarms. It will have a capital I in a box on the barrel. That's their trademark.
 
INVESTARMS

2 it will group
3 it is put together nicely fit and finish would recomend it to others
