I have a Pedersoli 1861, put a Dan Whitacre barrel, and with a load of 47 1/2 grains of GOEX 2fg, sized to .575. At 50 yards, a five shot group is one big hole. Lyman 575213 wadcutter. A mold Lyman no longer produced.
Paper Cartridges with lubed and sized Minies , 60gr of 3f....40 of them in a cartridge box with a cap box . No wiping , no table full of crap scattered around, lots more fun and it's shooting these the way they're supposed to be used.
Michael, can you please post a link to the site where you get the plastic containers that hold your 60 gains of powder? That is the best container I have seen to hold the musket charges for use on the range!
@@asherdog9248 at the NSSA major even the metal covered roof has numerous ram rods lodged it it. The two fingers were if if happened you would not be holding and hopefully would slip between your fingers

Good shooting thanks for sharing.
The best day is range day and the best range day is done with a good muzzle loading rifle.

Thank you sir!
Nice musket!
Live big... try the battle load 60grs😂. I've watched this a dozen times. I would love to have one.
Sure is a very nice rifle!!
When I shot NSSA we only used two fingers with the ramrod in case of a cookoff. Actually index and thumb.
did you ever see one happen? I was thinking about using a pair of pliers.

What Dia round ball do you use with that patch? And where do you get them?
And what dia. Minnie does the pedersoli prefer?
@@fixed970 depends on gun. Old Dixie gun works online
.562 ball or .570?
Axis Arms got the last shipment of carcanos
good shooting
I put my used percussion caps in one place so I can throw them away and not litter.
