    Pedersoli Charles Moore Blued vs Stainless..???

    The difference to the best of my knowledge is the finish of the barrel. And I am not sure but the stainless barrel, I have a Le Page cal .31 after 33 years shows some sings of wear.

    I can offer patches of 0,15 mm which is 0,0059 inch. Some 15 Minutes ago I went down into the cellar to look at the label of my patches and there is a package of 100 patches in 0,15 mm. By the way, that is the Flint lock rifle.

    Pedersoli Flintlock Kentucky Pistol

    .001 inch is 0.2 mm. I am aware that I can use thicker patches with a ball with smaller diameter which should be equal to the thinner patch with ball with larger diameter. I prefer the thinner patches with larger balls. I have an Ardes Pennsylvania Carbine Flint lock in .45. The best...

    Very stupid, very lucky

    Hm, all of the Muzzle Loaders made after 1985 I owe are marked Black Powder only. Not marked in that way are those made prior to 1900 and for example the Belgian Made Centaure of the time 1959 to 1973.

    Pedersoli Flintlock Kentucky Pistol

    Pedersoli recommends balls of the size .445 which would normally require .010 Patches. The load with Swiss Nr.1 may be close to 20 grain for target shooting. I wouldn't expect to shoot that pistole like a Manton, Le Page or something like that Tatham & Egg neo-classical balls .445 search...
