.63"v.75"

Post by Nath »

I hunted with my short Bessy at the weekend. The .750" bore and large flash hole means she has to consume heavy charges and heavy payloads. 2oz of shot usually and then she speaks!

The .63" trade gun amazingly could not be more different! It works sweetly with just an ounce of shot.

Self portraits are done on a timer. Usually just propped up on something handy.

I nearly once bought a trade musket, it seemed like a useful bad times firearm. They certainly worked well in it's day for the folks who depended on them.

30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres
