My percussion rifle is in 45 Cal, but I have several in 50 Cal too.
The sharps was a 45-70 (45 Cal 70 grains of powder). When I hunt with this 45, I use 110 grain of powder.

sounds kind of obsolete but I guess it fits your personality! lol.
It is a fine weapon, very accurate. Hits HARD, and when it is black powder season, that is what you need! I have a newer design that is even more accurate that I hunt with now, but I still trust that rifle!
These are my third tier assets for SHTF. I can make black powder, and keep these rifles running, long term.
:)>yeah yeah yeah..what's black powder made out of?
Saltpeter, carbon, and sulpher.
:)>where do you get that stuff?
saltpeter you can make from urine, carbon can be charcoal, and sulpher can be from matches.
Of course, buying ahead in bulk, is wise! But you can accumulate all of it in small batches.
