Taking Muzzleloading to Great Lengths

[musketman]

Taking all of your muzzleloaders, be it pistols, rifles, muskets or whatever, add up all of the over-all lengths of each (in inches), then divide by 12...

How many feet of muzzleloaders do you have? :: :haha:

I only got 13.9 feet of fire power... :boohoo:

Hey. 18.5 feet between 6-long guns and 1-pistol.
All the best,

It ain't the length, it's how you use what you have. At least that's what I always say.

 

I have to agree with that. Besides one of my front stuffers has a bore of an inch and a half and nigh three foot long. It may be a smooth bore but is versitile with RB, Conical, cannister or Loose Shot. And if I'm feeling particular nasty, nails and broken glass!

That's because rock salt is out of season... :winking: :haha:

80 feet

Not enough... 9.12 ft. of hand guns, 66.17 ft of rifles, for a total of 75.29 feet... I'm lacking what I want to build the most,,, a good smoothbore... :boohoo: Someday I hope!

70 feet give or take a few inches. ::

 

not quite 17 feet......glad you didn't ask about BPC, single shot and double rifles, I'd be embarassed.

Hmmm, I can only find a little over 60 ft. that means I'll have to get 4 more long rifles to catch Roundball and Ohio Joe. Wait I forgot to count that 1810 contract rifle and it's about 6 ft. long so I'll just need 3, hmmm......

 

[Ohio Joe]

Oh no, musketman,,, it's starting to sound like you may have started a muzzleloading arms race... :haha:

 

[Stumpkiller]

Wow. I is a poor, distant 7.5 feet at the moment. I just sold 3.5 ft and L.C. Rice is working on 3-2/3 ft of swamped for me even at this moment (at least I'm on his schedule). I circulate mine and sell to add. I can only carry one at a time. ::

But then, I've been working on the same 5'9" of wife for 24 years. Just not an accumulator, I guess.

Though I do have 530 ft of wood arrows by quick survey. But them is consumable.

 

13.1 ft.
