I use .530 pure lead rb self cast .020 ticking cut at the muzzel with 4 to 1 water balistol mix for patch lube. I soke the patch strip till saturated and then let dry over night on melemine or something that repels water. this combo will clover leaf at 50 yards and stay within4 inches at 100. :thumbsup1: Fisher king
By the way I'm shooting a Lyman Great plains Riffle 1:60 twist flint
I also have a T/C Hawkens in .50 and a spanish in .45 all round ball shooters |

| I shoot sabot's out of my 50 Cal T/C Black Diamond, buddy of mine suggested them when I got my Muzzle loader a couple years ago and have used them ever since. |

I just recieved my new order of round balls and patches the other day. I ordered the Hornady round balls .490.
bassrat, I got rid of my inline and have a pack of T/C sabots (I think 240 grain) that I never shot off. If we get together for a hunt you can have them. My side lock will only see round balls. |

Hello from Germany,
I also use RB's in all of my ML. I have a .50 Traditions Deerhunter, .54 Lyman GPR and a .54 Lyman Traderifle flinter, further more a Pedersoli 12ga. double barrel.
PRB works very well in all of these guns.
Regards

| How is that Great Plains working out for you? I was thinking of getting a Lyman rifle at some point. |

Hi ifrench,
the Lyman GPR is a very good and accurate shooter for PRB, at 50 meters you get nearly hole in hole groups. Because of the 1 in 66'' it works also with Maxiballs. I use a .531 PRB, 0,20 mm lubed patches, overpowder wad and 90 grs WANO PP which is similar to your Schuetzen or Grafs FFg.
Regards
