Hello, All
Probably been beat up here before, but the local muzzleloading shop suggested using a 451 in my brass framed 1858's. (They do shave lead with the smaller ball) So inquiring, is it the loading of the 454 ball that puts the stress on the brass frame or the shooting? If loading with a loading tool instead of in the gun, would it cause frame stretching?
TIA
