It is permitted to fire an antique off ticket for testing purposes (deffo not competitions). Dunno if this has ever been put to a court. I do see the occasional original at my muzzle loading club and some of them are off ticket. Might be a tad tricky if the NRA jobsworths decide to pull a check so prolly best to avoid Bisley.
Enjoy!
True freedom includes the freedom to make mistakes or do foolish things and bear the consequences.

To shoot a s58 off ticket is illegal. The acquisition and possession of a firearm under s58 is for obsolete firearms to be owned as an ornament or curio. For a firearm to be used in anyway in the U.K. will place that firearm in a category requiring certification, in this case s1.
Should you be discovered shooting a s58 off ticket, you would be guilty of an offence of unlawful possession of a s1 firearm as the purpose you had that firearm at that time was not as an ornament or curio.
very nice indeed....
i think the early remingtons were 1 in 16 twist as the replicas are 1 in 30

All the more reason to get it on and get shooting.
With care, that is.
It's hard to see the justification in needing to put a s58 on ticket just to fire once in a blue moon just for fun when you already hold an fac and bp licence et al for far more powerful weapons. But then you see these piss takers insuring a beat up old banger with an "all other vehicles not owned etc" clause and proceed to drive around in a souped up racer which they could never afford to insure which "belongs to a friend".

Nice!
Chambers of even the 36cal Remingtons are roomy, to say the least. With a roundball or ogive both they´ll handle 30 grains easy.
..and yes. If the gun is sans cracks or damages it will take it with ease too.
Just for reference.
