    You probably know already...you will require a special mold for that rifle.Trapdoor springfeild projectiles have a hole in the base to make the bullet obturate into the Rifling.

    I load 65grn 1.5 fg under a Milk Carton wad.It is a compressed charge but that is the only load that shoots well for me.Regular 45/70 cast bullets went sideways through the target at 100.
