Me and my true love

[user 49399]

Seems like some folks can see it and others can’t.

Actually, my true love was operating the camera .
For those interested, I was using 50gr of Goex 2f (main charge and prime), a wad of tow, 1/2 inch glass marble and another wad of tow. Flint was homemade from a rock found on my farm. This is a light, easy target load accurate out to about 30 yards max. It saves on precious lead.

This is a weird vid! I am no techie, but my Mac played the vid and all I got was sound of the shot. I downloaded and then opened the MP and it played perfect.
Go figure.

no vid for me either. marble?

I don’t know why it shows for some folks and not others. The video was recorded and loaded with an apple phone. It plays fine on my iPad. I’m not as tech savvy as some so the video is what it is. I guess folks will have to take my word that we lots of fun.

I got a bag of 1/2 inch marbles from Tractor Supply and wanted to see how they would work for a light target load. They worked quite well actually.

Now THAT is neat! Great to know it can shoot marbles! My 20 gauge Pedersoli howdah is taking notes as we speak. BTW video and audio played fine on my iPhone.

Great! I’m glad at least some folks can see the video. I’m much better operating muzzleloaders than I am these modern devices.

I thought I would try the marbles just for another source of plinking ammo.

All I got was a little bottom bar that went from 0 to 9 seconds the rest white screen.

Your Apple records in a PDF format.
Devices like Androids operating systems won’t see it unless they are running Adobe.
My IPhone 7 plays it perfect.

Sound, no picture.

[Whughett]

What are you playing it on.

 

[RicM]

Apple desk top maybe the virus scan blocked it who knows, BUT I went to my ancient I-phone 6 and was able to watch it!!! took some screen shots. Very cool video!!!

 

[Greeny04]

Love it, nice riffle !

 

[user 49399]

Glad you enjoy. I can never shoot a flintlock without smiling .

 

[Britsmoothy]

Can't see the video but the photos are grand.

How accurate are the glass marbles?
I'm asking for a friend

The marbles were hitting dead on at 25 yards loaded with 50gr of 2f and nested in tow. The gun only has a front sight. I didn’t try any farther that day as were shooting some other guns also. Next time out I’m gonna take just that gun and do more testing with the marbles.

It was very easy to load and there was no recoil. I think it would be a good load to use for new shooters. The marbles did not break when fired as some folks have said. They should work fine on rabbits which I need to find out.
