So I picked up an antique gun on gunbroker a few months back and still haven’t gotten around to shooting it.
I can’t help but wonder how or where to start when it comes to starting to dump powder down the barrel of a gun from the 1800’s, and wanting to be safe about it.
The seller said they had loaded it up to 90gr of 2f. Which I don’t doubt…BUT I’m not willing to bet my life on it.
Just wondering if anyone has some advice about how to go about starting to shoot this gun, but with some sense and safety in mind.
