RE: bullets
British long range muzzle loading match rifles of the 1860/70s typically used bore diameter paper patched bullets, with shooting out to 1200 yards. Such still work fine today. Although some of these rifles were equipped with false muzzles, they were really nothing more than muzzle protectors cutting down on wear from loading and cleaning rods.
