Step 4: Firing

With everything finished I took it out to the range for some test firing.

I used standard 50 cal balls without a patch and about 60 gr of powder.  It makes a good bang and has an ipmressive muzzel flash.

On the down side, it has no accuracy at all.  I believe this is due to the short barrel and the rough finish from drilling the bore.  In battel it would be more effictive as a club.  It does make a good bang and is a lot of fun to shoot.

 


Keep your powder dry.
