Thank you for your dedication to your channel for going out in the show and cold so I can watch your video in the comfort of my air conditioned south Alabama home. I was stationed in the U.P. of Michigan in 79-81 and I hate the cold. I took your advise and bought an early English manufactured Parker Hale 1858 now I need to track down a bayonet for it. Thanks for another great video.
MPFC introduction; brilliant. Explanation; brilliant. Shooting content; brilliant. Bayonet charge; brilliant. Overall; You are the best Rob! :) Brilliant!!!
I noticed that on most hollow bullet molds, there is a difference in weight of 19.5% less than on full bullets. I weighed in the balance. The calculation is simple and I fall all the time on the weight of my bullets which work well. So since with my first formula we find the length of the bullet. We have the diameter, since we have the diameter of the rifle. You do Pi (3.14) x r² x h = Volume of your bullet ( convert to cm3) Lead density 11.3 g / cm3 Bullet volume x 11.3 = weight of your full bullet Weight of your hollow bullet = weight of your full bullet x 0.805 (-19.5%) You find the weight of your hollow bullet for your twist and for your caliber ... I check with my weapons which are very precise and it works. Must convert with your English values. Magic!!!
I somehow figured the beginning was a Monty Python reference before you got to the punch line. Good stuff. I'm finding I like your channel for more and more reasons. I figured you had a good sense of humor and this confirmed it.
Offhand, kneeling, seated, and prone. Those are the same positions I learned for KD range on Parris Island. A high kneel can be adopted for shooting with spurs, but is less stable; and well...presents a higher target profile. Great use of the bayonet to finish the target.
@@britishmuzzleloaders it looks a lot easier to reload from the prone now than it was then. As a retired NCO my hat is off to you, Sir; and I would happily have served next to a Rifleman such as yourself.
Rob, your videos are a great blend of informative and entertaining, I always look forward to the next in line. You had mentioned in this video that you had a certain amount of trouble getting your kilt back to its usual state of affairs after a good soaking; I've taken to substituting pants for a kilt quite regularly and am curious what primary sources could you point me to for care of the kilt afield, so far google has not been my friend in this
HI there. Roll it inside out for transport for starters. Press the pleats with an ironing cloth ensuring to pack them tightly. I don't have any "manual" references I am afraid.
@@britishmuzzleloaders Thank you for your reply, in re-reading my original comment I realize I was not as clear as I ought to have been; I simply meant to ask how the Soldiers of the Victorian/early Edwardian eras would have cared for basically the only lower body garment they had in their possesion while deployed or in the field. I assume it was as simple as most garment care of the day (wash in clean water or boil and hang dry, the usual US Army answer as outlined in their period publications), but armies of the past have a surprising way of showing us future people how advanced they were in the solutions to their problems. I have found as well that detailing daily tasks of earlier eras can be quite the researcher's challenge, as even routine life of a Soldier of the WW2 era is today mired in rumor and fabrication and this was barely more than a generation's memory ago.
@@Sgt.mac86 While I am not up on deep cleaning techniques of the Victorian era, brushes were used for may applications... Any photo of a bed space in a barrack room, will show multiple brushes issued for various reasons. Boots, clothing, hair, etc,.... as for the deep dirt and sweat and such, I simply don't know. Sorry.
Another brilliant informative and entertaining production! My 1861 Light Cavalry Carbine (some people wrongly call it a Bengal Carbine) has 5 grooves and likes to shoot 100 yards with a .564 round ball (270 grains) 0.012 patch and 50 grains Swiss 3. Try it! Keep up the good work and a big thank you from the U.K.
Thank you for this. Like others I missed the kilt this year 😁. That said, another great vid. My only request? Stay safe and stay well. We're entering some really interesting times, and I intend to be commenting on your work for some time to come..
At first I thought you'd been on the turps! Very interesting, your low hits remind me of my Bruno .22 LR at 100 m 4 shots in the red low and the 5th in the red high. That pushed the group out to just under 1". My best groups ever with it. No timing was kept for that exercise.
@@britishmuzzleloaders If I could post a picture I have several that are around that. A friend of mine who I took out to the range who never shoots shot a group with it that was 1 1/4" so I thought I'd better lift my game. He was a great encouraging influence on me. Oh and since you aren't accustom to telescopic sights that may have swayed your view. It has a Simmons 4-14 x 40 duplex. The bottom thicker upper part of the reticle I use out to 50 m at 75 I use the center cross and the bottom thick reticle puts it right in there at 100 m. But I see what it was you are saying, so neither are mine.
When loading quickly and in lots of different positions have you ever had trouble with scratching the bore with a steel ramrod? Here in the UK most of the muzzle loading shooters I know avoid the ramrod on the gun like the plague.
Music though is not appropiate. You used german music while describing your gear, I HAD to bring it up, too easy to spot. Absolutely great video as always. Keep 'em coming!
Could you do a video on the No. 5 Mk. 1 "Jungle Carbine" please? I'm sure you know more than I do. I have a sporterized No. 5 Mk. 1 that was made in July, 1945 at Royal Ordnance Factory Fazakerley. I've been working on restoring it, and am about 60% done. I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit more so I won't freeze when I'm trying to heat up the butchered flash hider in order to remove it, (it's soldered on) and then replace it with a flash hider with an intact bayonet lug. I've already redone the free floating of the barrel and the bedding of the action as per the instructions of the Armorer's manuals for the time.
@@britishmuzzleloaders thanks! Would it be possible for me to get any copies or something of whatever military manuals you find on the No. 5? I'd like to get in touch with you if possible. Keep up the great work, I and many others absolutely love the content. I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy in these trying times we are in. Cheers!
It is a report of shooter who seeks in fact. For a Hawke missouri river Perdersoli in caliber 50 the manufacturer Pedersoli recommends a Pedersoli ball mold of course "usa 318-500", this ball mold produces balls of more or less 473 grs. With this rifle which has a stripe pitch of 1/47 heavy bullets cannot be fired with precision. I never had anything of what I was aiming for. I did some research and realized that the slower the streak, the lighter the ball should be. I changed mold by lightening the bullet, and magic, the gun that fired anywhere, by changing the bullet no longer came out of the dark in a c50 target at 120 yards. Formulas exist for everything, since it is engineers who develop them, the precision of a weapon would not exist without. A useful formula that I often use at the long range shooting range. If you want to know how many mm you need to adjust your sights, you do this formula. d = (D / l) x L. all in mm d = sight adjustment result D = offset on target l = shooting distance L = center distance of sighting devices example, you shoot at 100 m, you aim at a place and you hit 30 cm from your point of aim, your sights have a center distance of 80 cm You convert everything to mm, so d = (300/100000) x800 = 2.4 mm You will have to move one of your two 2.4mm sights. And it works every time. There must be a formula for calculating the weight of the bullet for all stripes on the weapons Sorry for my english "google translation" ...
I am well versed in sight adjustment. In fact there is a sight adjustment tool built into the Figure of Merit Calculator which can be found in the "figure of Merit video on the Channel. As for a formula for rifling, theoretically, a slower twist will perform better with lighter bullet. In my experience with the Enfield family of muskets, the shorter, lighter bullet did very poorly when compared to the longer, heavier bullet. This flies in the face of conventional wisdom.
I would not. Not really my thing, as this is a historical shooting Channel and food has very little to do with shooting... :-) Have a look at "Rifleman Moore" on YT.
If memory serves me correctly, were your pritchetts a diameter of .566 instead of the .568 of the 1854 pattern? If so, was this to accomidate for the .003" thickness of the rag vellumn paper?
Question about the stock screw/ barrel bands - how tight do you keep them? My PH P58 front barrel band had a tendancy to inch forwards after a few shots, so I really tightened it down, along with the other mentioned screws. This solved the issue, however, now my rifle cannot group below 1.5' at 100 yards.
You definitely should be able to eek out more performance than that. If you really want to get the best out of it, a comprehensive approach is necessary. That said, the breech nail should be good and snug, and the bands should be as well. Try placing a very thin strip of rubber between the band and wood or some other method of taking up the space.
It's cosmetic. The stock has a slightly different shape and the patch box has a rounded cover without the decorative step in the hinge. It also had the improvement of a cut in the ramrod channel so that it would not clog up with debris. The shooting characteristics are the same.

had me grinning too, mad as a box of frogs!
Yeah, what a blast from the past :-)
@@shootingwithmitch5921 Crunchy Frogs surely.... 😀
The best part of that LOL intro is: It's all public domain! Every last bit of it!
That's how Monty Python was able to use it in the first place.
A classic.
It never fails to bring a childish grin to my face to watch Rob charge some poor target bayonet affixed. Great video as always!!!
Admittedly, a bit of a staple...

You do Pi (3.14) x r² x h = Volume of your bullet ( convert to cm3)
Lead density 11.3 g / cm3
Bullet volume x 11.3 = weight of your full bullet
Weight of your hollow bullet = weight of your full bullet x 0.805 (-19.5%)
You find the weight of your hollow bullet for your twist and for your caliber ...
I check with my weapons which are very precise and it works.
Must convert with your English values.
Magic!!!
