Back in the 1980s, I had a three band Parker Hale Enfield rifle. It would shoot two and three inch groups at a hundred meters easily, but we used a larger powder charge than you seem to be using. We used the Lyman mould and at least 55 grains of FF and sometimes as much as 80 grains if we were shooting more than a hundred yards. It was our belief that lower charges would not upset the bullet enough to tightly fit the bore.
Thank you! that should be enough for the bands. Now I'm convinced, I just ordered the 2 Band version. If only we had such detailed reviews on every Blackpoweder gun on the market :) keep it up and "gut schuss" from Stuttgart!
Nice informative video. I'm lucky enough to shoot an original (see my videos) with some nice target sights on. I am a big fan of Pedersoli arms i have a pedersoli remington 1858 pistol from the 1980's and i'm in the process of saving up for a sharps. keep up the videos and thanks from a fan in the UK.
Hi, thank you. I recently purchased a Wurttembergischen & believe that the same principles utilised in ‘Shooting the Pedersoli P58 Enfield Rifle’ could be applied to the Wurttembergischen. Your lube recipe appears a lot softer than my current homemade recipe & will certainly be worth testing as Swiss powder is in short supply hear and fouling from Wano is more pronounced. Are you looking at a further articles & load development for either the P58 Enfield or Wurttembergischen at 100m?
Great video!!! Good looking puppy! What breed and how old, are you going to hunt with him/her? Are you shooting at a target range? It looks like a nice place to shoot. Good luck and good health to you.
Hi, you mentioned that the bullet lube that you use is a mix of bees wax and motor oil. Could you provide further details as the type of oil used is not clear.
im really thinking about getting this one instead of armi sport because i do live target shoot and hunt deer but i want to get the 3 band one, right now i have armi sport 1861 springfield but i want something more accurite
Great video, you covered everything I hoped for :) One thing that's important is a thight sitting rear sight. That was a problem with euroarms and armisport enfields. The ladder must be 100% tight, did you test that? Also, can the barrel bands be tightened enough with the screw and is there room for further tightening? My experience with enfields is that the adjustment of the barrelband screws is vital for accuracy at 100m+. Might be possible that I have to adjust it due to outdoor temperatures
Jo napot kivanok Kanadarol! I want to get a civil war rifle and your videos have been of great help. My question is regarding loading. I have looked over the available moulds and dies based on what you said and Lyman products are the easiest for me to get. I wonder about the bullet casting you used. The website says it's for a parker hale. Is this a problem? I am having trouble finding the sizing dye you use also. The website says to shoot lead minie-bullets as cast. Can you? Should you? Thanks
What was the name of the song that starts at 0:30? Ive been looking for it for awhile; I think its by TSFH, but I still can't find it :c Edit: Its called "Magika"
Dear gentlemen, Balazs is talking about his home-made lubriction for bullets in this video, consisting of Bees Vax and fully synthetic motor oil. Does anybody use this, too, Or what lubricant do You use for Your Enfield guns? Thanks million for help, just purchased 1858 model and will welcome your experiences. Petr
I use 50 ,50,bees wax, olive oil. When cold just 10 sec at body temp,sorts any crisp effect. Also use this as my all round barrier cream ,for storage, hot metal.never a prob in 100% moisture at 32 degrees. Easy to clean.etc,and yes I have thought to add some synthetic oil, he used to say a tiny amount...but the 50,50 works so well,I don't see a reason to change, other than in less than zero conditions.. Regards from n.z.
If Pedersoli paid so much attention to making an accurate reproduction, how come they didn't pay any attention to getting the rifling correct? Originals had rifling that tapered from .015 at the breech to .005 at the muzzle. The rifling in these reproductions are so shallow so as to be practically non-existent.
The answer is quite simple: making the progressive depth rifling is much more expensive. While in fact the constant depth rifling can be just as accurate.

Such a beautiful rifle. You're lucky to own it.

Well that's another firearm that has gone on my list.
Up your powder charge to 60 or 70 grains I believe would be closer to the original powder charges of the cival war era . Great video.
But not good for target IMHO

Yes
Great video! I just have one question: why are you using FFFg powder. I was Under the impression that FFFg should be avoided in cal. larger than .54.
Wasn't the service charge for the Enfield 60 grains of Musket Powder?
I think it was Sir

Another great video--I suppose you can bend the front sight to adjust the POI. Are you going to try grouping at 100m next?
What was the name of the song that starts at 0:30? Ive been looking for it for awhile; I think its by TSFH, but I still can't find it :c
Edit: Its called "Magika"
Sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean
Looks to be shooting to the left, if I understand the video correctly.
Can the sights be adjusted to correct this?
5:05 PUPPY!

Ugh. Nevermind. Missed that you said you were going to do 100m next :P
Ah. I thought you said it wasn't adjustable for windage?
would you recommend this or another bp rifle[which one ] if the max range was only 50m
Anyone know what that hand sizer is?
is the front sight drift adjustable?
can you attach a bayonett?
+Markus Karelis yes.
