58 Cal.
I have a .50 cal Lyman's Deerstalker. It states that they come with a 15/16" barrel. Mine has a 90 grn 3F max load with a PRB. Had I have bought (And kinda wished I did now) .54 cal the max load is 100 grns of 3F with a PRB. If the walls are thinner, and the additional weight adds pressure why did the max load go up?
In my quite limited scope of understanding/logic I figure the larger bore reduces pressure with the same load, i.e. 100 grns of 3F would actually have less pressure in the .54 bore, but the walls are still thinner, and the weight of the ball ought to add to the pressure as I understand it. And so it goes back to wall thickness...
