Never had a 58...

always thought it would be fun. My cousin's TC Hawken in 54 was a real hoot with the TC Maxiballs. BUT I'm pretty sure he always ran it close to max. It'd be interesting to see what that rifle would do with the 3 1/2 drams load. You'd not likely want to run a lot of them through it, but if you can control the flinch instinct I bet it'd tighten up your groups a bit.
The suggestion on patch round balls would be well worth looking into for a plinking load. A patched ball over 50 gr powder should be a fairly pleasant load to shoot.
