Some great BP folks reside here on AO.

Carbine, what rifle are you installing the RPL on? Have you received it yet? Apparently they will make LH models sometimes.
Your advice on 40 cal rings true. Just visited Cabelas website and they are asking $50 for a can of Goex! A 70 gn charge is .50 cents per shot alone. A Hornady 54 ball is .25. Wow, 75 cents for powder and ball alone. Gonna contact Hill Folk for their pricing! Pyrodex RS for a percussion gun is $35 and add a cap it is the same. These numbers are more likely to cancel the build than anything. I cast so once the ball size is confirmed that drops at least.
