    Inline 50cal muzzle loader. The one with a bolt, plastic stock and true glow sights. Sorry if that winds up the purists... My first silly question: What do you find the best way to lube the...

    What I mean by this, is that it doesn't exist. There is no such thing as a .275 ""Rigby"" cartridge. Its a name made up by modern American gun writers from a misunderstanding. The cartridge was...

    H414 is the same as W760, spherical ball powders. If you check all the load data as well you will find it is identical. Nb if you go back a long way it may be different. Z
