.45 Gibbs bullet size
I just bought a Pedersoli Gibbs long Range Target rifle. Unfortunetely, it did not have a box or paperwork with it. The Pedersoli web site has load suggestions but doesn't have the bullet diameter that is uses.
I sure could use some help with this. I can buy some paper patch cup base bullets from Buffalo Arms, before I get to cast but I am unsure about the size. Thanks for your help. |

Oops my bad! If you could offer suggestions on bullet weight, it would be helpful as well.

Hi,
I use to shoot with this gun: pure lead: 535 grains : diam 0.4485 Just the weight of the ramrod will SLOWLY get the bullet down the barrel. Etienne Brule |
