Hi.
Since I am still thinking about getting a Mississippi rifle, I have some questions.
Currently Pedersoli offers this rifle in .54 and .58, with .54 being the PRB rifling. I have however seen pictures of civil war cartridge packages with .54 minie bullets for the Mississippi rifle (and the Lorenz). Even nowadays there are still people that shoot .54 minie in this rifle.
Shouldn't this cause a lack of accuracy or any other problems since the deep grooved rifling is not made for the minie? Or am I merely overthinking it?
