You couldn't have picked a better rifle/caliber combination :thumbsup: . Both of mine love 80 grains of FFg Goex, .530 balls and pillow ticking with moose milk. Now, go out and enjoy that new rifle.

Good choice, hope you enjoy. I picked the Trade rifle in .54, and shoot 80g of 3f and a .535 round ball.
Congratulations! I have the same and am shooting 75g 2f with 530 ball and .15 prelubed patch. I have it to a three inch pattern at fifty yards with the occasional flier, which is my fault not the rifle, resting on the back of a sling chair. Your going to have a blast!

Clean that bore with brake cleaner right off the bat! Lyman's grease/oil is hard to get out any other way.
Mine is really fond of the .535/.015 combo over 90 grains of FF or 80 grains of FFF. Best midrange load for targets and such is 50 grains of FFF, and you can't beat 35 grains of FFF for head shots on small game. It's a bunch more accurate than my aging eyes. Anyone who has shot mine has gone out and bought their own, even if they already owned a GPR 50.

I`ve had my GPR .54 Lefty for 3 years now and it just keeps shooting better and better. At the shoots I mostly use 60grs. of 2F and .018 Pillow Ticking lubed with[url] Spit.In[/url] cold weather I use Mink Oil from Track Of The Wolf for lube, both shoot to the same P.O.I.! Have fun.....
