CT has a ML season which includes everything from flintlock to inline, the last 3 weeks of Dec. We can also use a ML during our centerfire firearms season as a lesser weapon.
It's been a few years since I've taken it out, but use a .50 Missouri Ranger, patched round ball and 90gr ffg.

High Walls, Rolling Blocks, and Sharps legal then. Those thing were state of the art back then and haven't lost much since.

Typically black powder and 50 cal.
But sounds like the boys cva single shot 350 legend would be legal. If so I would pick them out of what we have for that season. But I subspect the scope and suppressors would not be legal.

Primitive calibers:

The rifles that headed west in the early 1800s averaged about .53 caliber.

With one exception we dont have any commercial. 53's


So by default the .54 round ball is as close as you can come to the real life tradional calibers.



If you wanted to know that.
