Daryl, I beg your pardon (and pjb also) as the load was wrong on my post. I have not my notes at hand when I wrote it. I made the "smooth bore rifle" to shot an Indian hunting load of 6 drachms (164gn) and a light load of 3 drachms (82gn). I do not know how Inkael FFFg powder compares to other powders as it is the only I can powder get but 164gn is a very strong load. I proof the barrelled action as per British Proof house with double charge (330gn) of powder and 1.3 lead (but use 7# shot instead). BTW: I also made a single barrelled howdah pistol on the same calibre proofed for 100gn BP. Thank for your corrections. Martin |
