And not only that, you show us all this for free, at the expense of your own personal time in putting these videos together and uploading them.

With a little effort, all black powder weapons have a sweet spot. Sometimes it takes very little effort to find it and sometimes it takes a very, very long time with a great deal of lead expended.... I have been relatively lucky with this Martini... tried a number of loads starting from 75gr and worked up to 85gr... It was the 85gr version that worked the best... Thanks again and thanks for the subby... Cheers.

Apologies on behalf of the younger generation, let me elaborate: Two months ago a popular video game franchise (Battlefield) released it's new installment which is set during World War 1 (Battlefield 1) and the Martini Henry Rifle is featured in this game. The Martini Henry was possibly the most powerful standard issue rifle in the game (sometimes considered overpowered) that is before it was "nerfed" in a recent update to the game. In gaming terms, to "nerf" a weapon is to basically make sure that the level of damage it does, does not over exceed the average damage of other weapons in the same category. I do hope this helps although it might have been a bit confusing...
@britishmuzzleloaders

Sami Thank you! I still don't have a grip on what the request for a "post-nerf" review meant.... Surely, the real Martini has nothing to do with the game, and I can assure everyone that the Martini and it's capabilities have remained the same since the the re-jigging of the game mechanics. Hence my query. Thanks again!

Good job as always Rob, well done. As to management of fouling and the need to use the cleaning rod and patches because of the breech, I use a pullthrough. It is made from a .303" case and a piece of stout cord. I use a piece of folded domestic floor cloth as the '4 x 2' which is sized to fit very tightly. Two passes seem to clear a fouled barrel quite well.
@britishmuzzleloaders

Duncan Andrews Thank you Duncan. Yes a pull through would work very well. Friends use a commercial "bore snake" with the built in brush and apart from needing to be washed every now-and-again, seems to work well. I think that I should get such an item sometime. I like your home made variety too... I suppose that I was drawing a comparison to a Sharps or Rolling block with their ability of having a rod and patch run down them "at the bench" (or in the prone) from the breech. Very quick and unobtrusive, versus having to get up and either drop the weight down the bore or, in the case of the rod, punch it down the muzzle. Of course, in a military musketry context, wiping wasn't part of the practice, nor was it in contemporary competitions, though blow tubing seems to have been widespread.

I can’t imagine why they were even made but he was crazy about them. He said the 45 cal brass cost 12 bucks each and only lasted about 3 shots. I told him he should anneal the brass both before and after sizing but I don’t think he knew what I was talking about. It was an experience though!

pinz2022 Are you asking?.... Blowtubing? Completely historical... (that's why I included the pictures in the "Shooting to Potential" video..) Now, blowing down a muzzleloader and forcing the breath out of the nipple or vent might not be quite as efficient... Blowing *at* the muzzle, i.e. moving the smoke, would do absolutely nothing...
@pinz2022
9 жыл бұрын
britishmuzzleloaders Well, I do understand the need for a "bore evacuator" on tank guns. If the smoke isn't blown out of the barrel before the breech is opened for reloading the fumes go into the interior and the tank crew is gagging and vomiting after a few shots. But for a rifle, I've never heard it explained how a smoke-filled barrel will affect the next shot. I DO understand that artillery crews of muzzle-loading cannon had to sponge out the bore between shots to keep burning residue from setting off the next charge during reloading AND that this same phenomenon was a continual hazard for reloading muzzle-loading rifles/muskets in combat...but the smoke itself?

pinz2022 Not sure if I missed your point on this one, my friend... Not sure where the "smoke" entered into the conversation... Of course, it has no effect on anything... It's the fouling that is the enemy here... Hollywood crap about blowing into a barrel is just that... Hollywood crap... Where did you get the information about the "continual hazard" regarding muzzleloaders....? Sponging artillery? Sure... But muskets?... If that were the case, then history would be awash with tales of blown off hands and such... Accidents happen, surely, but "continual hazard"? If that were the case, I'd be long gone by now... :-)

I know personally a large number of people that shoot these in the UK... A few hoops, mind you.

Well I never knew that. My only experience is with shotgun licenses here. I'll look into it, thank you very much!

TheOnlySnappera For WW1 guns and on, I love German. But for rifles of this era and before, I love me some Enfield black powder guns.

some say that the rounds still travel carrying the sound of it being fired but if one looks to much you'll end up getting hit or so the legend says

Great video. Excellent shooting! I was wondering if you knew of any suppliers that sold cast bullets for the .577-450 and .577 snider in Canada? I was able to buy some from the US last year from buffalo arms but the no longer ship "projectiles" internationally now.

bmp130 Thank you very much... About the bullets, I can't say that I do.... Sorry about that... Casting is really quite easy though... Moulds are easy to come by. I wouldn't recommend any other method if you are shooting any quantity of ammo... Martini bullets are a bit of an odd size and as such, are hard to find already cast. Cheers.

Always come back to this video after a long range outing with my mk4. I found with goex old Eynsford, will still shoot a six o'clock POA up to 400yds. Martinis ( with a fair bit of concentration ) are certianly capable striking AND grouping on a man sized target at distances MODERN military's train marksmanship.
