Burnside Shooters

[Randy Nichols]

I acquired an original model 5 Burnside. I bought the brass and bullet mould. Using 3FFF black powder only and musket nipples
This carbine is a real hoot to shoot.

hoot to shoot. I like that. enjoy it.

[Ajohns]

I acquired one a few years ago. But black powder here is scarce.
Can't justify using 777.
Glad you got yours going!

That is what we do.... 3F Goex as long as we have it.....

[StrawHat]

I have used 3F and 2F, mostly Goex but some Olde Eynsford. A nice accurate load uses a 56 caliber round ball.

We use 2 f Goex, the tapered brass cartridges, and a 450 grain conical boolet, shoots great and goes clean through a bison... Can hardly believe this was five years ago already...

I have a model 1960 that I re-barreled to 56-50. I've only shot round ball so far. It is fun to shoot. I need to make or buy a conical mould as I would like a heavier bullet to hunt with.
