I have purchased a White .540 G Series that is spotless. Synthetic shock, black barrel, the gun is like new, inside and out.
I've read a number of discussion here on the Muzzle Loader forum and I'm very excited feel very fortunate to have this rifle. There has been a lot written by folks that own Whites, both here and on other web sites. You are all very passion about them. However............ almost everything I have read or can find to read has been on the .45s and .50s and scare little on the .54
I would really like to visit with anyone that might have any information regarding powder, bullets, load configurations and range experiences.
I've learned of the issues regarding the conical bullet, the lightly cut riflings, which always the bullet to move off the powder, if care is not taken.
I own two of White's custom made Green River Rifle Works rifles, purchased back in the 1970s, a Hawken .50 and a Kentucky .45 flintlock, both shoot "lights out" and have been the heart and soul of my gun case. but this is my first non-traditional, made by White, so I've got to start from the beginning with this ,540 G Series.
I sure would enjoy hearing from anyone that has some first hand knowledge on this particular White rifle.
Thanks a lot.
