| For Christmas my dad gave me his 1853 Enfield replica he used for Cival War reenactments. I would like to try this at the range sometime, but I have no idea what type of bullets, powder or primers to get. It's a .58 caliber with a rifled bore. |
| There are lots of vendors for the supplies you need, but these guys have been at it for longer than most:www.dixiegunworks.com/default.php?osCsid=1637bd4eb24dc1d2265dde9173216543. |

raf and DnPrk have good info. Dito, Dito. Have you checked your local sporting good store? The 58 cal projectiles may have to be obtained by mail order (Dixy,Cabella's) but walmart etc. all have powder. The Tripple 7 powder is a little priecy but it cleans up without soap! Just water, patches and a little oil when your finished. |

Strfy you are probably right,as I only know what the rifle and powder measures are for that paticular rifle is! Coniculs usually smack the shit right out of me(right cheek looks like ten rounds with mike tyson)ball usually no problem! But my son-in-law likes to load to full charge(blows the hammer back to half cock)I just say what ever floats your boat as a 450 grain lead lead bullet don't care if it gets there one or more feet per sec!
