"Moore" flintlock pistols at 25m : Bondini versus Pedersoli

[flibuste]

Here is some comparison between the 2 Italian replica :

Both are cal45 with rifled bore. load is 30grs BP.

Shooting REAL cal 45 bullet :

the complete names are "William Moore" ( Bondini) and Charles Moore (pedersoli)

BONDINI




PEDERSOLI






You can compare for minor differences but the Bondini version is lighter and less bulky....

Nice post.

Sir, what was you point of aim? Center bull, 6-o'Clock lollipop, etc...

How about the same test with patched round ball?

It looks like that Pedersoli (Charles Moore) did some butt kicking on that Bondini. I wonder what barrels Bondini used as opposed to the Pedersoli. Are they or were they both ‘sourced out’ to maybe other Italian or otherwise barrel makers?

I want to second Loyalist Dave's suggestion to use a patched round ball.

+1 to PRB. Those guns are set up for it.
