MtnMike2,

Yes, that .54 musket must be fed PURE LEAD balls. I scrounge all the pure lead I can find for my muzzleloaders.

It was one year ago this month that an old widow asked me to appraise her deceased (2002) husband's guns. I did and then she offered the items to me at a very fair price. The only gun I wanted was the only M1894 .30/30 octogan barrel RIFLE I ever saw. I have a M94 carbine made in 1921 that is handy, but no where as nicely balanced as the rifle.
