Squirrel Practice and Idiots
Roundball - I think there's hardly a school left Down Under that would even let you take a PICTURE of a firearm into it! You are not alone in the US with idiots like your know-all pal. We get them here too, unfortunately, but the best I saw was in Edmonton, Alberta when I was living and...- Peter A Meyer

flintlock double barrel shot guns
Mike - Thanks for sharing your photos and giving us an indication of your prices. Despite your nice work they are a little rich for my blood, made even worse by an unfavourable exchange rate (AUS$1.00 =~ US$0.76). In looking at the Bilby and your own work I am making Homer Simpson look like an...- Peter A Meyer

flintlock double barrel shot guns
Dawg, G'day from Down Under! If you find someone to make you a good quality one at a reasonable price, PLEASE let me know. I have been enquiring here lately for a repro DB flint gun and also drawn a big fat zero. (I think Pedersoli may make a DB flint rifle.) If I wasn't already building a...- Peter A Meyer

Round Ball Behaviour
MMMMMMM! More thought fodder. In the three years I lived in Canada, I never once thought to do a series of checks on water spin direction down the drain. It's certainly clockwise here - I can't get it to go anti-clockwise down any of my drains. Toilets don't count here (despite a certain...- Peter A Meyer

Round Ball Behaviour
Arcticap - clockwise Down Under because of the Coriolis effect. Drains and toilets however always drain directly downwards under gravity, but a smoothbore can be aimed in any direction, so would the Coriolis effect apply at all in this case? I personally doubt it would. If, for example, your...- Peter A Meyer

Round Ball Behaviour
Loyalist Dawg - surely more than one day though? When you talk of a spiral movement, I take it to mean around bore axis at the moment of discharge (from your description of the experiments). Interesting. No wonder spiral rifling became a tad popular! By the way LD, I started my black powder...- Peter A Meyer

Round Ball Behaviour
Greetings from Down Under from a new member. I was casting some bowling balls for an original 1801 Brown Bess the other day, and as I watched one drop out of the blocks a question sprang to mind out of the blue. In all the discussions of ballistics, bullet behaviour, smooth bores, rifling, etc...- Peter A Meyer

As an Aussie, and new to "The Muzzleloading Forum", I don't know much about pre-Revolutionary American rifles. I have been reading the PC/custom discussion in this thread with interest however, and one thing is quite clear: one group is approaching the theme from the reenactment point of view...- Peter A Meyer
