British percussion pistol cal. 75 "towerproof"

[flibuste]

This is an original gun from mid 19th century, smooth bore and no sights.

At 20 meters almost all balls have punched the paper.

Load is light due to the age :


40 grs BP, 100grs cormeal and ball 75 without patch (no room for it).

Recoil is not very regular due to poor ball quality and hence accuracy should be improved with patched 0.73 balls. for instance.

Why do you add corn meal? It's really nice.
