    Tip: This may have already been covered. When you come up with a known load for your muzzle loader, place a mark on your ramrod to represent where it should match the end of your barrel when your gun is properly loaded. If you insert your ramrod into a loaded barrel and it fails to closely match your mark, you will know something was loaded improperly.

    An additional note. I finally found #11 caps! I also found and bought my own Howdah! Shipped as a "kit" (which involved finishing the wood and adding the grip weight) to my front door. There is room for personalizing the stock to make it all yours. Thanks for the video guys!

  • @raymondrobbins698
    @raymondrobbins698 Před 3 lety +18

    I have both the Howdah and standard long gun version, lots of fun skeet shooting or hunting. Both guns are 20 ga, the muzzle ID is .612, actual 20 ga wads are too loose, you need to be concerned about the shot or ball moving forward in the unfired bbl, this is the same regardless of brand. Black powder shotgun wads come in odd gauges, both work guns well with 19 ga wads, not 20 ga. Lube the sides of the cushion wad, when you ram it down the bbl it will shave a small amount off similar to loading a cap and ball revolver and provides an excellent gas seal. Shooting round ball with 75 gr of Triple Seven ffg, a .610 ball with a .010 Ox Yoke Originals lubed patch over a card wad (over powder wad) works well but adding a lubed cushion wad seems to be slightly more accurate. I get 2" or less groups @ 10 yds with the Howdah, not bad for just a front bead sight at least in my opinion. For shot loads I use 75 gr Triple Seven, 1 oz #00 buck, #4 buck, #5 nickel plated or a combination. At 20 yds the pattern is even and symmetrical, no blow out. Wear a shooting glove with the Howdah, recoil from shooting the .610 ball can tear several layers of skin off of the middle finger behind the trigger guard from the knuckle all the way down to where the finger meets the hand, I have the scars to prove it. Using shot can cause damage as well but it is a little kinder, gentler and does not dig as deep into the finger. I bought the long gun back in the 70s, the bbl is not chrome lined, I bought the Howdah 9 or 10 yrs ago and it is chrome lined. A chromed bbl still needs to be cleaned after use, some people seem to think the chrome lining makes the gun invulnerable to rust or fouling that is not the case. You should swab the bore with a lubed patch after each shot for best results. To be more efficient, I purchased some small centrifuge vials with attached cap on eBay they hold my 1 oz shot loads, I no longer measure shot, I simply fill a bunch of vials with shot and toss them in my possibles bag, for powder I use a flask with a set of spouts rated for different charges, you don't need to measure just put your finger over the end of the spout, depress the lever to fill the spout then dump it down the bbl. Loading BP shotguns is a little more involved compared to loading rifles so establish a routine that works best for you otherwise you will end up pulling a lot of wads from your unfired gun or possibly double charge a bbl. Respect black powder guns, although not as powerful as modern firearms they have been used in war for centuries all over the world and have killed hundreds of thousands if not millions of people (more likely), 50,000 + died at the battle of Gettysburg due to BP firearms. BP is not for everyone, some try it out of curiosity and then put it aside, like me, the first shot might give you a serious addiction. I have had this monkey on my back for over 50 years and I never get tired of it.

    Using the same measure for both powder and shot (equal volumes), was very common. It was referred to as a "square load", and was considered to be the ideal loading ratio for MZ shotguns. Variations were, of course, allowable, but most used a square load.

    As always Mr. Hickok, it's a great pleasure watching your videos. You mix history, practicality, and most of all safety, into a brilliant work of art because it flows so effortlessly.. A true gift for sure. Anytime I meet someone who is interested in firearms or that is just beginning their journey into this world, I always recommend them to your channel. Your down to earth personality, quest for knowledge, and great sense of humor helps our cause much more than most realize. I grew up on the old westerns from Gene Autrey and John Wayne, to my all time favorite, Clint Eastwood. My father has a .50 cal muzzleloader which was my first introduction to BP. He explained to us how the very same type of rifle was used to start our Nation, as well as the same type of rifle that almost destroyed it in the Civil War. As children growing up in a hunting family, he wanted to teach us how far firearms and ammunition have evolved but also, most importantly without saying, what was actually involved in going to battle with these weapons. Watching old movies about these subjects with opposing sides lined up parallel to each other, firing, and standing in the same spot reloading while getting shot at is absolutely mind-blowing! Yes tactics evolved from this over time, but imagining standing in the pouring rain trying to reload your musket with your countrymen being hit or killed on either side of you, and the sound of the musketballs flying only feet away from your head, really should chill every man to the bone! If every American only thought of the sacrifice our Founders made at this level, there would never be a situation like we are now experiencing. For the elderly man shook while shedding tears of fright just as much as the 12 year old child fighting next and across from him as he tried desperately to not make any mistakes while reloading. Thank you and your son for all that you do.

    Hickok, I've always appreciated that you often include a bladed weapon that corresponds with whatever firearm you're featuring in your videos! The Second Amendment addresses the right to bear ARMS not just firearms. Whether it be a Bowie knife, a tomahawk, or a cavalry saber, you seem to appreciate what I call the "kit mentality". In the age of single-shot firearms, if you had a mechanical failure, missed, fired too early, etc., you darned-well BETTER have something sharp and pointy to defend yourself against whoever/whatever you just unsuccessfully just tried to shoot!

    Thanks for making the video! I have wanted a Howdah for a while now. My dad told me he used to hunt squirrels when he was a kid with a black powder double barrel. He said your have to duck under the cloud of smoke to aim the second shot. I have shot black powder rifles and pistols with him from an early age, and have collected a few replicas along the way. It's great fun. He's gone now.
    Try an 1858 New Army 44. It is also fun to shoot, and accurate as well.

There's a lot of information out there, on this gun and black powder shooting in general, that seems to me confusing and conflicting. The video made it look fun and simple. I can't wait to get out and shoot it. Thanks for showing what components are needed. No more safe queen. Thank you very much!

    I use premade cartridges by getting a mandrel (i.e piece of dowel rod) and roll some paper tubes up with one end folded flat and glued with a small dab of glue under the last fold. I then build the load from the front down using over shot wad, the the shot, cushion wad, the powder card, then powder and twist the end with a dab of glue or tied with string. I write the gauge and shot load on the side to keep everything straight. Out in the field or at the range I simply un twist a little, tear the twisted end off and pour in the powder, then simply place the rest of the cartridge in and ram it home, the extra paper left over acts as an extra cushion also and on my plain round ball loads only use a card under the ball and the paper acts as the wadding. I have made up several different cartridges using bird shot, buck, buck and ball loads, and plain round balls. .

    Looks like a ton of fun; I want one. It's be great if they offered it in 16ga so that it would work with larger buckshot. A 20ga bore is only good up to about .30-caliber #1 buck.
    I wonder though, how are the ballistics with black powder, old-school wadding, and that short barrel? Everyone seems to assume this is full-power 20ga, but I would be interested in seeing some chronograph results.

    • @matthewhickok4421
      @matthewhickok4421 Před 6 lety

      Although it is called a 20 gauge, it is close to 19 gauge. In fact, you are best to buy wads and cards of 19 gauge for this pistol. If you load a round-ball it will be .58 caliber (with normal thickness patch)
