Mrs 11th corps bought me the grip and screw for this boot pistol this year for Christmas. I have owned the barrel etc for a number of years, it belonged to my Dad. I had never fired it- not sure if he ever did. It has no markings on the barrel.
I found a box of .315 round balls at my lgs. I took it to the range today. Started with 20 grains of 777, spit patch. It went pfft on the first try. I wasn't sure if the ball exited the barrel, but it did.
Upped the charge to 30, then 35. It fired. I took about 15 shots with it, the last at a water filled container of Nestle coffee creamer. It punched a nice hole right through both sides.
Now I want an underhammer rifle.
