Thank you so much and yes, please feel free to use all or part of the post. <br /><br />I see your point about the fouling issue; my language in the post is not at all clear. It's my understanding that, depending on the gun, black powder and ammunition in use, a marksman could get as many as 20 shots off before being in danger of jamming the musket. Please let me know if that jibes with your experience and thank you for pointing that out. <br /><br />It is wonderful to have folks like yourself with knowledge to add chiming in!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730716060906158244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-63889349434287663512010-11-18T12:52:45.631-09:002010-11-18T12:52:45.631-09:00All right, i'm in.

But a brilliant post just the same. I will with your permission post a part of this post on my blog, and on our group forum. I hope it brings you more followers.<br />Best post I have read anywhere of late, except for mine of course!<br />Thank you.<br /><br />Regards, Le Loup.<br />http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com/<br />http://eighteenthcenturylivinghistory.freeforums.org/Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.com
