    Musket cap nipple hole size ??

    Bought a very nice Antonio Zoli .58 at a live auction over the weekend and noticed the nipple has a very large diameter hole compared to all the #11 cap nipples I’m used to seeing. Is this normal or has someone drilled it out to use as a reenactment rifle ? Thanks all . FBC

    Pawnshop mystery update

    Well I got the rifle cleaned up and measured the bore at 408 thousands . Since I have a 41 magnum mold I poured some soft lead bullets . 60 grains of pyrodex seems to be plenty strong enough for deer hunting.
