First rounds down range in about 30 years for a 1970's vintage Lyman/Armi Sao Paolo Enfield musketoon. I found it in my Dads basement pulled a stuck bullet a generally cleaned it up. 60 gr of FFg and some cast minnies from my LGS. Not sure of mold or weight but they looked like lyman 460gr. Fired 10 rounds straight one group at 50 yards with 6 o'clock hold. No cleaning between shots.
I was not trying to develop a load just fun shooting. Used bore butter as lube. Looks like there is some potential . Some questions though.
1. Lube the cavity of the minie or just the grooves?
2. Any ideas to source a new rear sight ladder? Instead of raising the front sight post my Dad filed down the rear. Tough to get a good sight picture.
