Im toying with the idea of spending my tax return on a pedersoli Brown Bess. I think its an awesome piece of history and would make for a great conversation piece at the range.
But I had some questions...
1. How bad is the recoil? I know the roundball weighs something like 545 grains so im assuming its got a substantial kick. Im a bit recoil sensitive due to a past injury and a 20 gauge field load is about the edge of my comfort level. How would a Brown Bess compare?
2. Is it hard to find roundballs and patches for a .75 cal? I never really see them anywhere.
3. Does the gun have any degree of accuracy? Or do you just point and shoot?
Thanks!
