Thank you guys lots of great info. For the info above u understood that rifled barrels have better accuracy. I am looking in to Lyman Great Plains and CVA. As far as caliber it's between 50 and 54. Leaning toward 54. I read some other posts and most dot recommend buying a kit. Even a 95% is no a good idea. I did come across chiappa rifles. They do have a good variety but I never read or heard anything about them. Can someone comment in Chiappa flint locks ?
