Not always accurate but a good place to start when you have gun questions related to movies:

The movie prop houses have quantities of Snider breech loaders which have been sleeved to use the common 5 in 1 movie blanks.
The .577 Snider rounds can be loaded and improvised using Fiocchi or Magtech 24-ga. all-brass cases, cut to 2 inches and loaded with a .600" lead round ball, fiber wad column and 80 grains of 2Fg.

The ENEMY is listening.
HE wants to know what YOU know.
Keep it to yourself.
Dog gone it, now I can't get that tune out of my head.
That would be a lot more fun to shoot than my 14.2 pound Quigley .45-110, I bet. GF
@ GF
And doesn't it put about the same size hole in the paper at 100 yards ?

Could be wrong but I think that's a clip from near the end of the movie where Quigly is making his stand against the British after shooting Marsten.
Statistics show that criminals commit fewer crimes after they have been shot
Yes, that's it
yes, then the camera backs out and shows the hills around the ranch lined with the Aboriginies.
Then the british decide to leave.
headgear dont look right for colonial Aus ----but its a movie.........................................
@ Indian Joe.
I take it you were there , being from Down Under.
We appreciate the Correct historical information.
Movies tend to distort the actual History.
That ain't right.
British refugees from the French Foreign Legion??

I loved that show. Made me want a Sharps. I ended buying a 1863 paper cartridge Sharps & love it just the same.

nah !!I werent there its a bit far away for me to visit on short notice like that - besides me horse was a bit lame
I searched all the Aussie colonial uniform info I could find -- couldnt see that headgear - uniform looked like more like in India at that time - headgear similar or from the Sudan
I wasnt thorough enough to say no for sure but it yelled loud at me from that picture - but then Tom Selleck's rig was kinda loud too eh
Yeah that was my first thought too - but the legion was white caps?
Always good when the bad guys get done in.
Legion caps probably started white … after a couple of years of use??
