    Knuckle buster

    Shooting Recovered Round Balls from the ground ??

    I watched this video yesterday. I am subscribed! I clicked on “Like”. I respect your opinion but I don’t think that I would ever shoot a “dug” bullet unless there was no other option. That dirt is murder on rifle bores!

    .36 cal percussion w/44" bbl
