I have only seen guns like this in display cases at museums. I have never handled one. That said, I could be jealous, but I have gotten too old for that, and merely am happy for you that you have the opportunity to shoot the real thing, and also grateful that you have filmed said shooting for all of us to enjoy. Thank you, sir!

A *lot* of interesting points in this video. One that immediately jumped out at me was that the hang time between the ignition of the priming powder and the ignition of thd main charge was remarkably (and consistently) short, given the age of the weapkn and the use of relatively coarse powder (as opposed to fine priming powder) for priming. That says a lot, IMO, about the design of the lock and the configuration of pan, touch hole, frizzen, and flint. Not to mention the shooter 😉

Your educational videos are the best sir. I have been shooting black powder muzzleloaders since I was 16… now I 63 I enjoy them even more as I build all of my flintlocks by hand. Your attention to detail and history is unparalleled in the black powder shooting community. Thank you!

I grew up near a battlefield of the Mexican American War in California and used to go to the museum a lot. they always had a Hall Carbine on display and sometimes held reenactments and other events. It’s so great to learn all the details - great video!

Lovely video, I do love learning about old tech. and speaking of clean burning Swiss, FYI a gentleman on KZbin "Everything Black Powder" demonstrates different formulation for making black powder at home and found the certain types of "toilet paper" makes for a powder that is cleaner than Swiss and every bit as fast. It was truly an eye-opening sight.

I am a US 1st Regiment Dragoons history fan. My memory is fading, but I believe they were issued Hall Carbines at one time which may have been smooth-bores in .58 cal. They were not liked by the troops because they had no accuracy which would indicate they were smooth-bores. I will have to go back to my research. I hope you can find a percussion Hall to make videos about. I cannot remember what caliber the percussion Carbines and Rifles were. The use of 3F powder and a .530 ball made your rifle very accurate. I am looking forward to Part #3 if there is one.
@colemorgan85679 ай бұрын
Question as I have a Hall rifle myself and was planning on using Swiss 1.5f at 60 grains. Is that too much of a load? I noticed you say you were using 2 and 3f (edit: at higher loads such as 70-85 grains). I already have the 1.5f on hand and it’s a bit of a pain to get black powder without ordering it online.
@csipawpaw792110 ай бұрын
Disclaimer, I don't remember where I heard or learned this and please correct me if this is a myth and I am wrong, but I was under the impression that blowing down the barrel of a just-fired black powder rifle or single-shot pistol would extinguish or expunge out the nipple or touch hole any remaining embers, and clearing the nipple or touch hole of small obstructions, making it safer to immediately reload and improving reliable operation. This is done by gripping the muzzle with the hand, taking a breath, and then placing your mouth on your hand so you don't touch the muzzle directly. Then blow, don't spit, down the muzzle.
@capandball10 ай бұрын
That's a common practice, but not really safe. I have seen flintlock shotgunner automatically blow in the muzzle after a misfire... better to wipe the bore.

I'm wonder about all techniques shown in this video. Can this riffle loaded by modern smokeless gunpowder, but with less amount and with using of more progressive not spherical bullet? I heard that smokeless gunpowder may be mixed with black gunpowder for some better ignition, so black powder may be still used in flint gun lock part for possible safety...

"what if?" the load is "militarily misleading"? counter inelegance, and the rifleman of the day came up with a paper Charge and a Ball, could be a smaller ball to go up forcing cone, or two part load? I do it now so I can Switch out charge size or types with a combination of projo's. I could imagine a charge with a card or wad and it is FAST to load. Just finished three charge sizes or "Pills" for balls, and 2 types of conicals and three max charges by volume for a 58, 60, and dragoon of each. Looks like joints or cigarettes', my idea could be the original use of cigarette rolling machines? filters may be originally wads, considering Military secrecy and counterintelligence with tech of these days. I stopped smoking yrs ago, but I wounder is a typical American smoke fits in a .36 cal?
