WS Riley 10 Bore

[richardtl]

This is another original muzzeloader I found here in South Africa.

It is a big bore English style sporting rifle and in good condition and the bore is very good. The barrel is stamped 10, I would think for 10 Bore, it has a relatively slow twist of 1:66, but which is fast for this type rifle. I shoot it with .78 PRB of 700grn with a 150grn charge.

It was missing its cleaning rod and I fashioned a new one.
