Hi guys, now that im addicted to black powder via pistols, im heading off into rifles. I have a euroarms cs richmond rifled musket(58 cal). I have picked up some hornady 525gr hbhp mini balls. My questions start with will these give me problems they seem tight at the muzzle(manufacture says they should be snug)2nd what are my min and max powder charges with this rifle?
Also on a side note , I have a chance to pick a zouave rifle up, but the owner says one time he doubled the powder charge (120 grains) on accident. He says the rifle still shoots fine. Do you think he could have damaged it?
Any thoughts would be great ,
Rich
