The Hall flintlock breech loading rifle - cartridges, instructions and ballistics

This is the 2nd part of the Hall rifle history video. This chapter focuses on the service cartridges and charges of the Hall rifle, and gives an insight about its contemporary use based on such primary sources as the 1816 and 1826 manuals for the rifle written by the designer himself. I give an accurate picture about the external ballistics of the rifle.
