My son and I went to the range today with the following guns:
.54 Belgian rifle/musket (made in 1859). I used 80 grs of Goex FFFG
.50 Hawkins (Traditions) My son used 80 grs of Pryodex FFG.
.36 Savage & North 20 grs BP
.36 Whitney 20 grs BP .380 roundball
.36 Uberti 1862 Pocket Police 20 grs BP. .380 roundball.
The Belgian is a smoothbore but pretty accurate up to 100 yds.
The Hawkins is amazingly accurate up to 100 yds. The plate in the pic is from an old Second Chance vest - the dents are from the .50 Hawkins.
The Savage & North has some ignition issues but still works well. A .380 ball is a little too small so I "bumped" the balls up with a hammer.
The Whitney works like a new replica - flawless.
The loading lever latch on the Uberti Pocket Police went flying.
