--Previous Message-- : Hey everybody, I'm new to the site and I was : hoping someone could help me out. A few : years ago I received a Euroarms .44 Cal : Kentuckian rifle as a gift. I've never seen : a .44 Cal muzzleloading rifle or know of : anyone that has. I was hoping I could get an : idea on powder, patch and ball : configurations I should use. The rifle : looks brand new but I thought about having a : gunsmith take a look at it before I fire it. : I've been around guns all my life but not : muzzleloaders so this is new territory for : me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. : : -Mike : : Also, anyone have any idea what this rifle : could be worth? The only marks on the barrel : are: : Euroarms-Brescia-Italy, .44 Cal, Blackpowder : Only, A7353, XX9, Kentuckian. Mike: I recently purchase the same rifle (used). I am going to try a .433 round ball made from a Lee round ball mould. A .440 fits but does not leave much room for a .010 patch. 50 gr. of FFF powder would be a good start load. The percussion nipple on my rifle needs to be replaced and am not sure what size it is. Anyone know what size it would take. Thanks sbkcabin@kvis.net : :
