This is the 2nd part of the Hall rifle history video. This chapter focuses on the service cartridges and charges of the Hall rifle, and gives an insight about its contemporary use based on such primary sources as the 1816 and 1826 manuals for the rifle written by the designer himself. I give an accurate picture about the external ballistics of the rifle.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
