small calibre muzzle loading pistols

[Simon G]

Portsmouth Gun Centre has an NAA b/p. 200 quid, S/H. Can't imagine you'd get much after 7yds.....

As for .31 cal, light and fast. Ballistics equivilant to a .22lr and at 15yds, 4-6" groups, at 25, expect dinner plate size.

I know it's "off subject" a little, but what sort of accuracy should I be looking for from a .44 at 25yards? Dinner plate at 15, so is it Ford Fiesta at 25?

I've got 3 .44's. Two Uberti will give 3-5" at 25yds, but then my Rogers & Spencer will half that if I do my bit. I also have some .36's, one of them that I'm able to fit a stock to. This Navy, with the stock fitted will punch one and a half inch, six round groups! Now if only I could replicate that hand held!!

Oooer. Best get my game face on!

Lucky if I can hit the card with 3 of 6.

He'd be frightened though, and those three would smart a tad!
