Bought one at an auction, called TC Arms and found out it was a 1:38. It's a .50 cal. The tech guy said to start with a 370 maxi ball and 90 of powder and then go from there. I asked him about using sabots and you could tell he wasn't keen on the idea. He also didn't like the RB idea either. Has anyone gone through the initial trials and come up with a good conical combo? What kind of powder works best? I know there are many conicals to experiment with. Thanks for any ideas.
