Yeah, I don't know if a swift kick in the cods would be payment enough but you are on the right track. I've seen quite a few examples peddled by Otto Bennewitz of Kaiserlautern, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaiserslautern , and am sure that he was pretty much a firearms merchant.

I would use a load that approach the pressure of the original black powder load but I don't know that the normalized/normalisierten(Ford has told me the correct term but I can't recall for now) was that much higher in pressure. But I'm sure most questions can be answered if you had a copy of the 3 part article in the GGCA publications by Mike Ford about a year back.

Kind Regards,
