.58, if you can get one, bigger ball yields more weight which yields a little more umph and extra penatration. Remeber that a round ball will lose something like half its velocity and overhalf of its energy by the time it goes one hundred yards.
Thompson Center Black Diamond
Hi all,
Does anyone have any comments on the Thompson Center Black Diamond? It seems like a good rifle for a beginner and I've heard good things about it. It's a little more expensive than what I wanted to spend, but I think it'll be worth the extra cost.
Oh, if I want to use it for boar hunting, what caliber would be good? I believe it comes in either .50 or .54 caliber.
