My vermin controller

[bernie.g 0]

Just thought you might like to see my vermin controller

 

 

Its an Italian made caplock Kentucky scout carbine fitted with a parker-hale globe front sight and a lyman peep tang sight. Also pictured is my cartridge belt which holds my speed loaders, short starter and nipple pick.

I have kitted this rifle out and made the cartridge belt myself.

 

I am getting groupings of 5 inch at 50 yards and 12 inch at 100 yards with the tang sight which is good shooting as it is a smooth bore and can be held on a shotgun certificate.

 

I am now awaiting a Blackpowder brass Tasco 1860 Replica. It is a 4x15 and 2 feet 8 inches long. Which should improve my groupings

 

I have just received some knight red hot bullets and sabbots which are 175 gr hollow point, if you follow the link below it will give you the ballistics which are very impressive.

 

Muzzle load ballistics

 

With one of these bullets & sabbots and a 85 grain charge feet per second is in excess of 1550 and 1520 foot pounds energy, meaning that this can legally shoot deer but would be a bit of an over kill on squirrels

Let me know your thoughts
