I have a Dixie Moravia Arms Muster 1854 Jajerstutzen that I bought off of a team mate when I belonged to McGregor's. Bobby Holt told me that the metal the barrels where made of was a little on the soft side and that I should reline it to 58cal. But I wanted to keep it 54cal. So I wanted to see if I could get it to shoot decent groups before I relined it. At first I could not get it to shoot a decent group to save my sole. The first thing I did was I sent to Buffalo Arms and got a M/8 1.25 Italian nipple ( I thinks this was the main problem ) I then sent to The Rifle Shoppie and got a new main spring, sear and tumbler. I fitted, polish, harden and tempered them. Then I glass beaded the barrel the length of the stock. There was a Eddyton bullet mold that came with the gun but I wanted to try a regular 54cal minne, so I sent for a Lyman 54225 mold. I then tried to work up a load. It took a number of trips to the range. But I finely got it to shoot decent groups. The Lyman 54225 with 43 grs. of 3f Goex will shoot around a one inch group at 50 yards off the bench. The Eddington witch is like the Wilkinson bullet with 43.5grs. of 3f Goex shoots the best, it will shoot a one inch group at 50yds. off the bench. I hope this helps you out.
