  • Were'nt muskets loaded by priming the pan with the same powder cartridge that you put into the barrel? Or was that just the Brown Bess?

  • @De4dm4u5Rulez But for hunting you would usually load from the powder horn, which is inherently dangerous after the first shot and is not allowed to be done on the range, so a measure & priming horn is used.

  • @JomsborgelagSudhird Kewl, but what about the Ramrod you used?

    Why could'nt you put it back into that ramrod slot after you loaded the weapon?

  • @De4dm4u5Rulez

    The ramrod used is a metal one, rather than the one connected to the stock.

    In the field, we use the wooden one, at the range we used to use the metal one.

  • Do you cast your own bullets?

  • @WimpBastard

    Yes

  • @borntorazehell7777 simple u both used em... :D

  • what are the laws like in Australia concerning muzzle loaders

  • @De4dm4u5Rulez Many replica ramrods are made from ordinary round beechwood sticks. They split easily and then you have a problem getting them out of your barrel.

    Original wooden ramrods were of carefully chosen flexible woods.

  • @MrJapaneseboy1111 Get the print catalog from Dixie Gun Works.

  • I need to get my hands on one of these.

  • @JomsborgelagSudhird What's the probability to fail the casting?

  • uncool. don't use a short starter! If you are gonna be serious about historical interpretation as your costume suggests, at least load the weapon in an historically accurate fashion. Also, use the ramrod that it attached to the gun. C'mon man!

  • @sebiiau I reckon you could kill two school children a minute minimum. 

  • where can you buy a nice flint lock pistol replica that can shot?

    and how much do they cost?

  • THUMBS UP IF MAMI TOMOE BROUGHT YOU HERE :D
