Great recordings. It do show very well how curvy the route of the round is... When some people argue why the rifled musket was such a big improvement over the smoothbore, they often fail to understand this issue... Sure it was a huge improvement, but to take advantage of it, your need to be a good marksman and be good at actually judging the distance... (something the wast majority of american civil war soldiers never learned... most never even fired their weapons out side of combat) Have you ever tried to get someone else to set up the targets at more random ranges (like 237yards, instead of 200 or 250) and then try hit them? (so you need to judge the distance also)

Another fantastic video with a lot of time and effort put into it. It shows in the quality of the video and shooting. I've been wanting to get into BPCR long range shooting, it just seems so satisfying when it's going good. I like how you explained the different sight pictures used. Personally I prefer the full sight at the center mass position but I know sights aren't as adjustable on Victorian military rifles so that's not always an option. Speaking of sights, your short rifle seems to be dead on with the windage. Are the sights correctly aligned or are you using Kentucky windage? I love the videos, keep up the good work.

Man, watching your videos really makes me miss my Sniders. And my M-H Mk. II. And my Parker Hale 1853 😿. If you set up a camera part way to your target, you might actually be able to see the bullets go by. And hear them, they go; “hummmmmmmn” as they fly over. Our range is built in a soaking wet muskeg, so in our fall black powder shoots, I would fill the base of a Minie bullet with lube, and press a few grains of FG into the lube. The lube would produce smoke and make it easier to follow its trajectory, and thus easier to teach others about the importance of accurately judging distances.

Are the black powder loads you are using "Full Military" power (is that the right term?) or just your personal preference for target shooting?

@britishmuzzleloaders8 жыл бұрын
Some are... My Snider load for this rifle is just a bit under, in all cases. That is why I have to re-zero the rifle at these longer ranges. Typically, the loads I end up using are more accurate than what a modern version of the service load would be. It's very hard to replicate them today due to the better quality BP they had back then. I always go with the load that is the most accurate/consistant. Sometimes, as with the Martini, they are the same (85gr FFg in that case)

Have you looked at the playlist? There are quite a few more Martini clips than Snider. Technically, yes the Martini is the better rifle, but that has very little to do with which one I should get... There are so many other factors that can come into that decision... What makes you think that the Mk IV was from the Boer War? (refresh my memory on where you are)

From what I can tell and what I've been told (and mind I'm not an expert on British rifles), it has Boer War stamps on the stock. Though as I said that was really a genuine query as to whether you have a favourite lol. Sorry about the confusion, I actually never thought to look at the playlist :P

Mr. Mercanto "Boer War stamps"..... I'd look into that, if they are asking a premium for it.... I really don't have a favourite. Each rifle has it's own charm and capabilities. Cheers.

Bet you can't wait! There are many videos on the Snider in the Snider Playlist on the Channel... The two part series on Ammunition might be helpful to you. Cheers!
