Mike,

Nice job and nice photos. I built 3 Pennsylvania Rifles in .45 caliber in the 1980s and learned a bit more with each finished gun.

The .54 is a good deer load with patched ball. My accuracy load is 75 grains of 3F Goex. If your rifle likes 120 grains of powder, then go for it. I think 75 or 80 grains is "enough gun" for deer.

Adam
