Figuring out the old dueling pistol.
« on: Today at 06:01:01 AM »
Some of you might remember this original German pistol that I fixed up a few years ago. I brought it out to the range today to try and figure out where it shoots before our Thanksgiving shoot next weekend.  The load was 25 grains ffg and a patched .490 round ball.  This was 3 shots at 15 yards offhand with 2 hands. It's a smoothbore with only a front sight. I've found that I need to show half the front blade, and aim at 4:00. Shoots pretty darn good for an 180 year old smoothbore.

Shooting pretty good there Justin. What does it do at 25 yards?

I'm not too sure yet. I ran out of time yesterday.
