Firing a 10-Bore Flintlock Rifle
This video showcases the firing of a 10-bore flintlock rifle, a reproduction of a 1792 Joseph Manton British rifle. The rifle is capable of taking large game, with the presenter detailing its history of hunting boar, water buffalo, kudu, and elk. Technical aspects like powder loads (185-200 grains of 3F) and a double set trigger are explained, alongside a live-fire demonstration measuring significant recoil and muzzle energy comparable to modern dangerous game rifles.
