    Hall Rifle question

    In what events would a Hall Rifle be allowed to compete. Over the Winter I'm putting together a percussion version of one I'm building and I'm curious.
    Knowing that a thumb over the ball to load it is a safety No No so I'm working on a loader of sorts.

    Bill -

    For Individual Matces the Hall Rifle is allowed in the Breech Loading Rifle/Class 2 Carbine Match (BLR/CL2 Carbine).

    For Team Matches the Hall Rifle is allowed in the Single Shot Team Match.

    Either form of ignition is permitted in both matches.

    Since the chamber is oversize from the bore size you should be able to just drop the ball into the mouth of the chamber without having to push it in.
