[BlackEagle]

My Remington NMA 1858 likes .454. .451 will work but .454 gives better precision. I use 10 or 11 caps (pinch them to keep them on the nipples) and the satandard Pyrodex charge of 24 gr. Not convinced this is the best combination, but it goes bang and hits the target.

I put the powder in first followed by a wad, then the ball.
