Hello gents,
New member here and would like to extend handshakes and hellos ! I recently purchased a used and truly unfired Pedersoli 1858 Enfield. This is my first jump into antique military muzzleloaders and I am having a TON of fun ! I do have BP experience as i've been loading and shooting my 1874 Sharps 45-70 and i'm a pretty decent 600 yd shooter. So my first question that I can't seem to find any info on is how the rear sight leaf functions. I see the 5,6,7,800 yd hash marks yet I have no clue how to reference the moveable elevation notch. I also am wondering that when you have the rear leaf laying flat , at what distance is this zero ? Is this called the "battle zero" like on some other military rifles ? I'm also observing that when I shoot a 465 gr Minie ball and 60 gr of Goex FFG , my POI is about 13" high at 50 yds ? Thanks in advance for your help !
