What bullet to use will be determined by your bore size. If using an original bore, go with the Lyman .535 RB. If your bore is big or you have it relined, honed, or lapped, you may need to obtain a mould from Jeff Tanner in England. Very good to deal with. Moulds are cheap too. Simple moulds made of brass. If you want to pay top dollar, go to Moose moulds. He makes real nice ones. I'll be entertaining him for a mould this Winter but not a RB. Approx. 30 grs. of 3f GOEX is a good starting point. If your bore is big, you may rough up the Lyman .535 so it fits snuggly. Lubes you can experiment with but I use Alox. You can use a 1/2" dowel as a ramrod. No sight changes can be made. Targets are standard 25 and 50 revolver targets at 25 and 50. You can have a 2# trigger pull. Clearing will be done by one cap down range and one at the ground in front of you. Don't expect too much out of these yet. As time goes by and shooters begin to figure them out, scores will begin edging upward. The last Nat'ls a 66 took 1st. at 25 and a 55 at 50. So get in on the ground floor while the gettins good. Practice, practice, practice because your aiming point may not be on the paper. You'll need to figure that out before the Nat'ls. Ask questions when you get there. Advice is free. It's a lot of fun and starting to catch on. Good luck.
