The Pedersoli Tyron Muzzle loader is a .50 cal. Italian made rifle. I use a 80 grain black powder charge with a .490 cal. round lead ball and a .015 lubed patch for loading. The 80 grains of powder is first placed into the barrel followed by placing a lubed patch on the muzzle, then placing the ball on the patch and finally ramming the ball and patch to seat securely on the powder. A "cap" is then placed on the "nipple." When the hammer falls and strikes the cap the spark travels through the nipple and ignites the 80 grains of powder - the lead ball is propelled out of the barrel.
