Shooting an original Civil War era Smith Carbine with authentic Poultney's Patent cartridges
I keep saying 1883 - it was made in 1863

Thanks! It is a joy to shoot.
Just wow wow
A great video, Barry! I have to say these must be about the most accurate reproductions--both the cartridges and boxes--being made today, much better than mine (but just you wait!). I am really looking forward to seeing what the external ballistics of these cartridges are like. (This is Hugh, by the way.)

My mouth was working faster than my brain while the camera was rolling. Thanks for watching!
Greetings! Would it be possible for me to use a small fragment of your video for my short documentary? I will provide video source in the description. Thank you for consideration!

Yes. I was not reading from a script and my mouth was working faster than my brain! It is 1863/4
Are you using the CCI musket caps for reenacting. I have some of those caps I was wondering how they work. You have a nice carbine. I own one also but I haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet.

I am using RWS musket caps.
I want to get a Smith. Which would be better for shooting......repro (Hard to find) or original? (Mostly more expensive)

Personally I always prefer an original over a repro.
Where can I purchase these loads?

You make them yourself!
Are you from the UK? I figured you must be, the way you pronounce carbine.

Nope. I live in Indiana in the United States. Lived in the UK for a bit when I was a child. That is the way I always pronounced carbine 😀
