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.
It's going on an early Made in USA CVA Mountain Rifle .50, that was equipped with a Douglas barrel from new. Maple stock, etc. A rifle worth spending a few bucks on. One of these won at Friendship in 1989, not that I ever would. I have my new lock, which will be a great upgrade.
