My favorite pistol
Hi,
shooting my muzzleloader pistol makes me a lot of fun. About 20 years ago, without kids, I could afford getting me a handcrafted muzzleloader for target shooting. It's a Billinghurst replica, made by Tilo Dedinski, cal. 36.
I load it with .354 round ball (casted with my lee mould) and appropriate patches. I wet the patches with a mixture of 70% spirit, 29% glycerin and 1% dishwashing liquid. This keeps the barrel clean. I use 10grs of swiss black powder #2, which burns very clean.
What's your favourite muzzleloader ?

Re: My favorite pistol
Looks good. I liked your wad lube recipe. My friend shoots a flintlock pistol but hates the cleaning up.

Re: My favorite pistol
Beautiful! I have a soft spot for the underhammer. I have one as well in .36, although it's a common rifle (Hopkins and Allen) here in the States. It is 'dead nuts' accurate out to about 110 meters before accuracy starts to degrade with a round ball. It was marketed as a Squirrel (Eichhörnchen) rifle here.Südhesse wrote:Hi,

Re: My favorite pistol
I'm not much into muzzleloaders, but the gun I shoot the most is my LeMat

Re: My favorite pistol
It shoots like a 22 rimfire. 4 pounds of gun, a .44 cal round ball and 14 grains of powder. Just see how short that cylinder is!
