Your restoration turned out very well. She is quite a grand Lady. At 12lbs 4oz I wouldn't want to shoot her with much more than 6 or 7 drams of black or a tad less. You might want to call Roland Huber (603 267 8227), he may have a few cases ready to send now and you know about Rocky Mountain. John Millar can make reproduction period reloading tools to load your own and they look good in presentation with the gun.
