1851 Navy On The Range Today
Took it to the Range today and used TRIPLE7 and some Home-Made FFg Black Powder. Used the standard .375" round ball for everything, lubed with SPG. CCI #11 Magnum caps. Loading loose powder and ball I managed to shoot about 30 rounds an hour and had a great time doing it. Had NO misfires or hangfires. Had no caps dropping into the lockworks. It was just a great dirty time. Triple7 gave the best velocities and accuracy for me.
Took some video and then captured the moment of ignition.
