Hello,
From today on i am happy owner of a .62 caliber Doglock Pistol from Middlesex.
The finish might be a bit too shiny but from Polish historical accords and looking at similar weapons from the 17th Century in our Castle Museum the stock is actually what it should be in case of a rough Military weapon. In my case for a 17th Century European Re-Enactor the historical accuracy is brilliant.
I would like to experiment with the best powder loads/balls/patches/ranges for this.
The barrel is 16" long with a caliber about .61-.62 (cant get the exact measurement at the moment)
What should i use ?
.58 ball with patches ?
Wads, lubed patches, overball wads ?
What combination would you recommend to start with?
3F powder as charge and primer or 3F charge 4F primer ?
I'd rather have a load as example and then work from this to get my best one
Edit: sorry for posting in rifle section - i dunno if the barrell lenght still qualifies this as a Pistol Historical Accords qualify this as a Bandolette/Bandolier - bigger than a Pistol, smaller than an Arquebus or Musketoon
