    Minie balls/R.E.A.L. bullets in a 1-28 twist inline work well?

    I would use the small ones, either 200 or 250 grain, and you can get the lead almost anywhere, once you melt it, it looks all the same. I get it from the range, old car batteries, or the very best is from dental xray film. The dentist will actually tear out the lead after use as a hazmat issue...

    Dream gun!

    I would use a 30 grain triple 7 pellet. It will be the hottest load without unburned powder leaving the barrel. You can fill the cylinder and be safe with BP, it just blows fire and unburned powder out the barrel. You will not see a video of a gun blowing up using BP. I have shot so many...

    Gun blueing

    When you see a real gun, not a replica, the bluing looks like there was very little rust when the phosphoric acid was applied, so it Is a very light blue. So, forget the acid step where you rust the **** out of it, just use the bluing on a relatively clean white barrel
