Just put a deposit on my first smokepole, a Lyman GPR percussion .54 cal
Awaiting a permit to acquire through local gov weapons licensing before completing the purchase.
It will come with a minnie mold of which the projectiles apparently shoot well, though I know this rifle is meant for patched ball.
Hmmm, where to start & what accessories will I definitely need for loading & cleaning?
I'm a darksider, very familiar with blackpowder. Up until now my experience has been with cap'n'ball revolvers & BP cartridge.
Looking to get the Reloading Manual Lyman Black Powder Handbook 2nd Edition.
Cheers,
Mark
