kek

>>33361126
I'd like to pic myself up a Lemat, but I've not found one in person. I'm also rather interested in more 18th century stuff, I don't have much information.

not about skill, work smart not hard faggit. you can kill much more and more efficiently. nice try hipster scum

>implying most rounds used even hit their target
>ever

You're wasting your money on wasted bullets m8. I see people shoot guns like that at the range all the time and 90% of the bullets never hit the target. It's a huge waste of money on ammo.

i wanna load me some solid brass 12ga for my ithaca, but can't find any fucking FFG anywhere.

also, can different sizes of shot be loaded in brass shells without any major modifications to load data and still be safe? i want to load a few 00 buck black powder loads for fun days.

>A good repro costs over $1k

Kill me

Post sub-minute groups

>>33361275
What? Some are available for 500ish.

Shotshells are loaded by total shot weight, not by size. So yeah, you don't have to change anything from shot size to shot size for the most part.

00 buck does not normally use a "typical" shotgun wad that encapsulates it, it uses a felt base wad and nothing protecting the sides unless you're going for a premium hunting load with something like a flitestopper wad. In regards to brass shotshells, they're almost exclusively roll crimped with an overshot card anyway so you really can't use a "typical" shotgun wad anyway and are pretty well forced into using a felt wad.

Me.

>>33361275
Not really, unless you are talking about competition tier quality.

>>33361285
Not him but BPCR guys routinely print sub-minute groups at 100y during competition. They'll be like .89-.95" 3-shot groups, but saying that black powder through some nature of being itself makes them inaccurate to the point of unusability is dumb.

You understand handloading? You'll need to check the specific sizes to make sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handloading

I've never done that.

>>33361297
Hang on, if I'm reading this right, these aren't ready to fire?

The flash hole isn't drilled, makes it easier to ship.

27 yards

Just ignore the 5th shot.

>>33361336
The "rifles" aren't rifled either.

>The vents are not drilled from the pan into the barrel making them non-firing (read further on this below). The frizzens are case hardened to produce good sparks. The seamless tempered barrels are made of high-carbon steel (type:BS970 no.080M40) and the breeches are threaded. The barrels are smoothbore (.62 Cal). Some experienced gunsmiths can modify the barrel by adding riflings or put in a rifled sleeve (this reduces the calibre). We do not do this type of work.

Meanwhile a nice Pedersoli 1861 Springfield costs $1200.

>>33361398
Alright, guess that sucks but I was looking at smoothbore models anyway.

I want a blunderbuss for some reason.

This desire is confounding and it feels like gravity just doubled around my ass. What the fuck.

>>33361332
It's not the BP, it's everything else. Muzzle-loaded rifles and pistol add all sorts of variables into the mix that are a bitch and a half to control, if they can be at all.

>>33361126
I've got a Track of the Wolf Tennessee rifle kit I need to get cracking on...

Also, traditional muzzleloader fairs > gun shows

>>33361147
One of the Pietta ones?

>>33361452
Planning on raiding some merchant shipping anon, because you should.

shut up cunt, guns don't need to be tacticool to be fun.

>>33361529
Yeah. I don't know of any others, but I'd love more options.

>>33361577
Other than an original there isnt any others who make repros of them but Pietta seems to do a good job

Do it, they're really goddamn fun.

I want to take a 20 gauge calvary shotgun repro and saw the stock off

Why are you living like a felon?

>>33361466
And now you know why we love it!

Speaking of black powder, how accurate were the civil war bp rifles with minnie balls?

>>33363437
More accurate than the shooters. And that's what mattered.

We're talkin 3-400 yards with a practiced marksman.

Maybe if your treat your gun more like a howitzer than a rifle.
