Hi everyone, wanted to say hello first off. I have read a number of postings here but had not joined as a member until just now. Anyway, I have a question about buck and ball.
My main question: is it safe? From what I've read when loaded from a paper cartridge the ball and 'buck' were loaded together in their paper casing, in effect holding them together until they exited the muzzle. How significant this is I don't know, but I do know the thought of a large ball being driven forward and colliding with other smaller objects in the bore concerns me a little. Does anyone else have any experience here?
Also I would like to invite those here to my site for live-fire ready paper cartridge tubes for the shooter of military flintlock and percussion smoothbores and rifles.
