I don't know how common it is to have FM on round ball bench guns, however I have a 14# and a 50# rifle and both have FM.

Crow, I don't know how to post pictures either. However, if your gun has a false muzzle then that makes it for elongated bullets. To the best of my knowledge no one made any false muzzle barrels for round ball shooting. I suggest you do some reading about false muzzle shooting and you can find some information in The Muzzleloading Caplock Rifle by Ned Roberts. That book is apparently out of print now but it should be easy to find on BookFinder. In fact, I'll take a good.

Mike, We all live and learn. I had not heard of false muzzles used on round ball guns before. That adds "spice to the soup" about the gun in question being built for round ball. A check on the rate of twist can add support. Mike
