hello I am impressed by the number of weapons with which you shoot. These are all your weapons? I myself have a large amount of rifles and revolvers and I do not get tired of buying and shooting with. Thank you for your videos they are as well made as interesting. The black powder is a rewarding area that teaches shooters to understand the ballistics of his weapons and especially he learns to shoot right. To shoot at the black powder you have to really like weapons and how they work.
britishmuzzleloaders Very interesting. The previous owner of my parker hale decided to cut the rear sight in a way that was nearly unusable, so im currently trying to look for a replacement. In the US, Rich Cross is known for make well made, accurate machined copies of original Enfield sights.
I made it... as for buying something like it, Brett from papercartridges.com makes them but is in a bit of a hiatus right now due to Army commitments. When he gets back, hell be able to help you out.
Hi there. None of this kit is "technically" not representing anything from the American Civil War. It would be safe to say that I shoot these rifles in a "British Empire" context and as such, the kit I have supports that goal. The hat is from a business in Wales that hand-knits Kilmarnock bonnets (very well I might add). This style of cap was the main form of "undress" headgear from the 1840s to the late 1860s. The greatcoat is a modern "Household Division" pattern from Britain that hasn't really changed, in pattern, since about 1870 (it doesn't have a permanently attached cape) that came from a place in England (remarkably cheap too) and the leather pouches are of a British pattern (used all over the British Empire). The belts and haversack I made myself. Now, that is not to say that some of this kit, produced by private contractors in Great Britain, made its way to the US for use by both sides in the civil war there. If you are looking for US Civil War kit, the internet is awash in it…
britishmuzzleloaders thats actually pretty cool you put that all together yourself, are you canadian ? i can hear it in your accent, my dads canadian. and i thought you would have a website for me ha ha
+rifleman Mine came from Brook's moulds in Montana to my specs.... There are cheaper versions available from NOE Moulds. Have you happened to watch some of the other videos here on the channel regarding Pritchett ammunition? There are a couple of them and you might find them useful. Cheers.
It's odd 60grains ffg works well for you, my Parker Hale P58 shot rather poorly with that load so I pumped it to 80ffg and it tightened way up. I figure the 60grains weren't expanding the minié skirt... Rifle-muskets for you eh?
I would say that 50gr is "around" the right load... That said, what is important is the accuracy... You need to work up your rifle using a systematic approach if you want the best accuracy. Start at 40 or so and work your way up in 2 gr increments, cleaning regularly, shooting a minimum of five rounds per group. The service charge for American cartridges of the 1860s was 60gr and the British used 68 gr. Find the one that has the best balance between recoil and accuracy. I would recommend grouping at 100m. That way the differences in accuracy are magnified and you can better judge which load will be the best. Cheers.
great videos as usual Rob. I'm saving my timmies money and have had a couple nice rifles slip through my fingers. thanks for sharing...have you hunted with any of your Enfield ML's ?
Thanks Bob. No I haven't hunted with them. Though I have hunted, I would not consider myself proper hunter. I do, however, feel the most confident with these rifles (as far as accuracy goes) and as such I should very much like the opportunity to use them should that occur. Best of luck finding a rifle. Look forward to hearing about it.
Thank you for directing me to the British Militaria Forums
Love the smack of the ball's impact...
Wonderful rifle! On my dream list.
Great rifle.

Yes they all belong to me. Glad you enjoy the Channel. Thanks!.
Are the rear sights on your rifle original parker hale or are they of a Rich Cross variety?
Orignial. I don't know who Rich Cross is.

and i thought you would have a website for me ha ha
Canadian yes…… What accent?…… Just kidding…. No website, just this channel, sorry.
Great video as always Rob ✅ Question: What are your impressions of loading the P58 w/ yataghan bayonet fixed? Is it annoying
Not really....
where did you come across a pritchett mold? I can only mind Lyman minie molds in 577 but nothing for a paper patched bullet

Excellent Tutorial, and cold looking, do yo have to travel far to shoot?
Typically, yes.

Yes, I agree,..... " Rifle-muskets for you eh"...... ( It's 60gr FFFg by the way.)
Hi I told you about my P H58 I like to shoot minnieball at 50 or 100 meter indoor,
is 50 grain good for the 50 and 100 meters ?
I would say that 50gr is "around" the right load... That said, what is important is the accuracy... You need to work up your rifle using a systematic approach if you want the best accuracy.

Going out in the cold to shoot, you're a better man than me.
Not that cold....
