The only pics in the file to date are a few of the muzzle. None are very different.

You have given me hope, Joe. I have a .43 Brockway, false muzzle & all, with a great mould that casts good looking flat-base bullets,but it came with a swage to make the bases hemispherical. I've never been able to get an undamaged bullet out of the swage, so I've never shot it. Now I can shoot without all that swage trouble.
It's a back-burner, so it will be very fussy as to load.
LMK when you get it off the burner and are heading to the range with it.

Craig,
Got the description "back burner" from David Goodrich. The powder chamber is drilled inside the breech plug. The nipple is located at the rear of the barrel. Fire from the percussion cap ignites the main charge about 3/4 of the way towards the front of the charge, not far from where the patch wraps around the base of the bullet. Reduced loads are not possible. There would be no way to ignite them.
FWIW, twist is 1 turn in 22 inches. If I put an unlubed .44-40 lead bullet and no patch in the false muzzle, a big deep breath will blow it out the breech end of the barrel when the breech plug is removed. Thereby proving that I'm full of hot air.

Lots of charm in that rifle. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see a target muzzle loader and one that shoots so nice.
Congratulations on keeping her well fed.
Regards,
Powderman
