Hi, folks!
I recently got my Armisport/Chiappa 1862 Richmond Rifle. I have a good experience with muzzleloader shooting but just with patch & roundballs.
So, the manual for the rifle says, that it shoots .585 Minies. My first thought: "Ah, I don't think so."
The Richmond is a .58 bore so what I know the Minie must be under the bore size diameter. For example .575 up to 579. Could this be a printing mistake from Armisport/Chiappa?
I can't imagine that it really needs .585 Minnies.
