My husband had a 58 caliber before all our guns were stolen years ago. It was stamped on the barrel 58 Mississippi. He only shot round balls out of it and 50-75 yards was best it would do in accuracy level. Musket caps. Never tried the mini balls. It's best load was 60 volume grains of elephant blackpowder. He sure does miss that old rifle.
