Ballistics and cartridges of the US smooth bore musket of the 1850-1860s

Описание: This time we take a short break in the series about the 1841 Mississippi rifle to talk about the musket cartridges and the ballistics of the US flintlock muskets. I compared their rate of fire and accuracy in the second part of the Mississippi series, and I’ll be shooting the rifle and musket again to 100 meters in the next chapter.This part covers two topics related to the US M1821 or 22 smooth bore flintlock musket: the first topic is the ballistics of the musket, second is the cartridges.
