Hi,

been shooting for years but just lately have got the bug for muzzle loaders? great fun!
However questions I'd like to ask are?
I fancy a (Parker hale) enfield musketoon, but smoothbore for the reason as it is so simple to purchase on my SGC, and not jumping throo loops, ect to get another 'slot' on my FAC.

next question is?? if it is 12 bore? what size ball would the equal?

and lastly!!

I see some guys using a smokless powder as opposed to black powder, to save on cleaning somewhat, and again to save all the hoop jumping of applying for & storage ect of black powder? and again cost!

is this powder ' paradox'????

cheers
