Hi all, i have a springfield 1864 know also like 1863II it's made by euroarms in two years of test i'm not been able to find a no longer than decent accuracy, sit on the rest at 50 mt is difficoult to hit the target, in this two year i have tested 5 different kind of miniè ball with ffg and fffg with load fron 30 to 60 grains, the best group was a 5" lower bull eyes made with a heavy 640 grains miniè from a Pedersoli mold.
Saturday i have tested two new stile of bullet from Lyman, the light 405 miniè, is a semi wad cutter designed for target, and a "original" miniè always from Lyman.
It's my 5° .58 cal rifled musket and i have find the right loading recipe far all except this last one
I thinking to sell it, eventually to a reenacter, he don't need to have a live fire musket
But before this.....any idea? something to adjust in the musket fitting?
Any positive feedback on euroarms (years ago i had a enfield musketon from E.A. and i wont forget it)
:banghead:
ciao
