    Progressively rifled barrel for Enfield 1853/58

    Ño you are wrong. The rifle Muskets of the 1850s had deeper rifling at the breech and as the Minie ball moved up the Barrel the rifling became shallower. This caused the awesome accuracy of the rifle Muskets of the day. Pedersoli has really cheated us today by just having standard round ball...

    That Evil Ember

    Men for years people post that loading a muzzleloader from flask or horn is not safe because of the EVIL EMBER hiding down the bore. Been shooting for Forty years now and I have never seen the beast that people fear. Caplocks, Flintlocks, and Revolvers have never flared the powder charge on My...

    What mistakes have you noticed in movies/tv shows that happen in the BP era like Daniel Boone, Patriot etc?

    Saw a movie about Peter the Great and the Russian army was carrying Mosin Nagant "flintlock" bolt action rifles. I laughed hard but it's a big screw up for me

    Brand new

    Pedersolis are also pieces of poop for a beginner. At least the Tradition gun will work for you somewhat. I have had three Pedersolis and the only way to get them to function was a replacement lock. That's pretty much proof of the lack of quality. Its like paying Tesla's price and getting...

    Powder for Flintlock

    Dude that's ridiculous. If it is going to woof it would do it the moment you poured the charge. By the time you prime if it's not gone woof then it's not going to.

    Are Gemmer Hawkins not Rendezvous approved

    Since J.P.Gemmer produced rifles in the 1860s would they be allowed at a Rendezvous? Most Rendezvous have an 1840 cut off date.

    Shooting into......

    I use a set-up close to what is pictured above and never had a problem. Behind the wall of wood is a mountain of Red clay. Been shooting into it for years and never had a ricochet. I have had to replace the middle ties a couple of times over the years. The Four H club should be alright.
