This time we take a short break in the series about the 1841 Mississippi rifle to talk about the musket cartridges and the ballistics of the US flintlock muskets. I compared their rate of fire and accuracy in the second part of the Mississippi series, and I’ll be shooting the rifle and musket again to 100 meters in the next chapter.This part covers two topics related to the US M1821 or 22 smooth bore flintlock musket: the first topic is the ballistics of the musket, second is the cartridges.

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. 😉
