BUT does anyone know what the accuracy difference is between these two rifles?
Forum: Muzzleloading.
The two bullet molds Pedersoli sells for these two are very different. The whitworth mold is six sided. The Volunteer is quite a bit different.

Pedersoli makes the 1860 volunteer rifle as well as the Whitworth. Both, I think, fire a 0.451 projectile. Anyone know how the accuracy of these two compare given the substantial difference in...

Anyone have any idea what problem this press was designed to solve?
Forum: Cast Boolits
That is an excellent little part as it prevents the pistol from coming off the pressure screw . Without it it can be almost impossible to get the pistol out of the machine.
