Hi all
I am looking at one of the above PH volunteer 3 band rifle in .451 & am looking for information as i have not had one of these before.

The serial No is H7XX,which from what research i've done indicates that its 'Henry' rifled.

What is the difference between the different types of rifling these come in and what is the recommended bullet(s) for these (pure lead or hardened a bit).
Can they be used straight out of the mould or is resizing a definite requirement.
Also what grade BP recommendations and initial loads .

I'll probably be starting off at 1-200yds and going out to 600 once I gain confidence in the rifle.

Regards
James
