[QUOTE="HighKnob, post: 416987, member: 21700"] When I was shooting a 54 cal. Hawkins by Thompson about 120 gr. was about all the 28 inch barrel would burn. That was with a .530 round ball. Anything more than that was just blown out the barrel. This doesn't apply with anything but black powder.....the others need to be measured by volumn not weight. Sabots would be just fine, a bit hard to find, but they're out there. Same load usually works for those as well. [/QUOTE]
