Great info, thanks David.
Please note that Research Press web site is being rebuilt. The following link will take you to the new collection of articles on 19th Century Ammunition.
There’s some general historical information, plus articles on ammunition for British Military Longarms, and for Target Shooting.
Thanks for your continued interest.
