striving for period correct 18th century shot loads

[duelist1954]

Here is part two of the video series using a 20-gauge, flintlock Tulle Fusil de Chasse to demonstrate period correct loading methods for civilian smooth bore guns. In this episode I’ll be showing various ways to load shot. As in part one, this video will contain both loading and shooting accuracy demonstrations.

You can find the round ball episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8AtaQGYQDk

Loved it!!
I like the performance of the 100gr/2oz/leather wad load, how mean to the shoulder is it?

It is a thumper, but how many shots will you make while Squirrel hunting?

I can feel it, but It isn't 't awful

Great videos Mike.

Have you found your gun to pattern better using a certain sized shot?
