    Maximum speed with Black powder

    Very good comments! So far the record belongs to my colleague with the .40 and 2,500fps! Would a .22 caliber with a chamber wider than the barrel, simulating a rifle bottle case, be the secret to achieving greater speeds? Did you understand the idea? Obviously, when loading, you have to be...

    Maximum speed with Black powder

    I searched and couldn't find an answer. Does anyone know what the maximum speed can be achieved using Black powder? Regardless of caliber and size of the load. I've heard it doesn't go above 2,000fps, but I've heard of up to 3,000fps. Does anyone have any information?

    Hole Through the Barrel

    If a hole in the barrel was a problem, we couldn't have flintlock. After all, what is a touch hole? But if your conscience doesn't let you calm down, make a short rifle or two pistols. Both will be fun.

    Black Powder Internal Ballistics Calculator

    The most important thing is to find out if it is trustworthy. Has anyone compared the result of this calculator with the speeds you can achieve?

    Kibler .32 Caliber SMR….

    The .32 is basically restricted to squirrels and pests. The .36 I believe is wider, including in distance. As the shooting pleasure of both is equal, I would go with the .36 as it has an added bonus. In fact, it’s good to have both, isn’t it! 😃

    Anyone here own exclusively muzzle loading firearms?

    Unfortunately, I believe that there is no system more corrupt than that of Brazil, here the left dominated and only criminals have privileges. I believed that the USA would be better!

    Anyone here own exclusively muzzle loading firearms?

    Is it only self-defense if you are indoors? If you're outside your home, you can't defend yourself? Don't allow this... it's a path of no return!

    Rifle vs. Smoothbore

    Bore/barrel size

    Você conhece algum teste que mostre qual espessura não suporta uma carga normal de pólvora negra? Eu me lembro, quando era adolescente e fazia uns "brinquedos" improvisados com barris de apenas 0,07... vivo para contar... mas não sou mais adolescente para correr riscos... ha ha ha!
