58 cal tennesse rifle

tkbigbore, the link didn't work for me. But if it's to one of the Lyman hollow base Minnies it would be a poor choice for a TVM rifle. Those bullets are for shallow groove military guns and must fit the bore very closely.

A barrel from TVM will be rifled for patched balls, with deep grooves and a slow twist. It's unlikely any conical would shoot well from them. Anyway, a 270 grain .570 ball will take down any North American game with authority. Plus you can push it faster and it will be flatter shooting than a conical.
