Excellent comments on the transition from BP to Nitro, exactly what was forming in my own mind when researching info on Ball Guns

The muzzleloading connection is especially relevant, in the back of beyond - Africa and India? - muzzleloaders were used much later than generally realised.

I have a quite late WR Monkeytail carbine that came from South Africa, long after cartridge arms were popular

Kind regards
