A good friend of mine asked me to try Pedersoli's muzzle loading Rolling Block rifle. This is an in-line rifle designed for Sabot hunting bullets. Here are some 50 m and 100 m range tests, including the usual review.

    So people can use them for muzzleloading only seasons - some parts of the world (I think US only?) have weeks where you can apply to hunt (deer/big game) with a muzzleloader and no other style of rifle. Done so that people can have time to use their vintage, slow to load and harder to use guns. These guns are built to give people who want to use them to hunt but want all the accuracy of a modern weapon - sorta a gimmick so that they can hunt in a season that is normally off limits to those weapons, if that makes sense. I think it's a real shame.

My Whitney Rolling Block .38 caliber center fire has had the barrel rifling pretty much shot out. Plus the firing pin is mushroomed over and the receiver main spring is broken and the trigger spring is in pieces. Stock needs to be rebuilt. I have built flintlock rifles and thinking about this conversation to the rolling block. Any thoughts from you on my rifle conversation would be much appreciated. Have a great day and take care. ~Steve

    no, the breech block is modified to fit around the cap, and the barrel has a giant, threaded hole where the chamber should be on account of the breech plug. Here in the US, where there's a big market for inline ML rifles (this rifle was intended to be D.P.'s entry into that market, and it's a good one, IMO), but in order for it to be considered relic (aka: not regulated like a modern rifle), it must have been produced before 1898 (or a reproduction of something pre-1898), doesn't take commercially available fixed-ammo, and for it to be considered a ML (and exempt from having to go through an FFL or C&R licensee), it cannot be readily convertible to fire commercially available fixed ammunition. They did just enough to it to make it fit that last part.

    they make it as a cartridge gun as well lol. Since the largest market for inline ML guns is in the US, D.P. decided to make their inline rifle meet US regulations. In the US, for a firearm to be regulated as a "primitive" arm (therefore not subject to 90% of the rules), it must use a separate primer, powder, and projectile; the powder and bullet is loaded from the muzzle; and it cannot be easily converted to fire commercially available cartridges (D.P. modified the design just enough to meet that). This rifle is intended for ML hunters who like the older guns, but still want a modern inline (I wouldn't be surprised if it couldn't be used with smokeless, I would guess they are using the same barrels as their cartridge guns)

    Of course it's a good rifle, it's a Pedersoli. While it may be a good rifle, it's not a muzzleloader I'd like. I love the Rolling Block, I think it's probably the best single shot rifle of the black powder cartridge era, beating even the Martini-Henry. Because I love the Rolling Block, I'd rather have one that takes cartridges and isn't a muzzleloader. If I'm hunting with a muzzleloader, I'd rather have a rifle that's based around the most technologically advanced design and not something that's limited by the Rolling Block's design.

    +Dick Tickles I don't understand the last part of your comment. To my knowledge, this IS what I would consider a "technologically advanced" muzzleloader. It has modern fiber optic sights and a scope rail, a removable breech plug for easy cleaning, and is fired by a nice big cap/primer that is easy to put on. And the rolling block action doesn't really limit it in any way. It just helps it to look a little bit nicer, and also protect the cap/primer from the elements.

The powder and packed ball was loaded afterwards. The concept beyond me!
