Shooting the original P56 Enfield rifle 

The first black powder rifle I learnt to shoot was a P53 Enfield made in 1857. Even though I've moved on to flintlock rifle I still love that old piece, so much still to learn and always a joy on the range. Love the video and really enjoy the research you go into on the rifle history.

You're doing better work with a 160+ year old design than a lot of people do with designs that are only a few decades old. Definitely glad your channel got some shout-outs in the last few months and I was able to find it.

I really enjoy the history of the firearms! Thanks for this channel!!

Very nice gun and some fantastic shooting! Something to be proud of when you develop a load that works in your own rifle.

You are welcome, Sir. Thank you for all the excellent videos.

Great vid, good groupings. Thank you.

Thank you for the great vids! I thoroughly enjoy them and hope you keep going. I'm sure I speak for many others too. From Idaho, USA.

Excellent work! I enjoyed the video very much. It makes me miss the Remington contract rifled musket I had. Also a good shooter when properly fed.

Great video, keep up this amazing content and this channel can only get bigger

Dear gentleman, thank you very much for all your videos that let me progress into the black powder world, I shoot in Geneva Switzerland I just started 3 years ago and I have a lot to learn. All the best to you.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing!

A friend of my father's brought a 2 band 56 and a 3 band p53 back from Afghanistan when he was in the army. Always love going over them.

How are these not getting more views!?!?

Det bästa och instruktiva som jag ser. En trevlig man som berättar och visar vapnen. -:)

Great video on a beautiful rifle!

Thanks! Enjoyed as always.

great video as always.

Dayum. That rifle be looking fine for its age.

Great show and information Thanks

I really congratulate him, very good channel, greetings from uruguay

that's outstanding accuracy, especially since its original!

Very nicely done, sir! I know that satisfaction in finding the right combination of load, powder and projectile after months of trying... I shoot muzzleloading guns as well as modern guns here in Switzerland. So if you're around some day and want to try a black powder Vetterli or Peabody from the 1870's or some other interesting stuff, let me know and be very welcome.

Oh that is such a beautiful rifle.

Probably the only Magyar I'll ever be allowed to watch on You Tube.....Excellent channel.

Great stuff,Thanks!

Many thanks, great content, great Chanel. And thanks for your patience in testing the powder and bullet size of that wonderful rifle.

It is very accurate for 50 and 100m.Impressive rifle.

Love your videos!! Would love to see a video on how you use but conserve these?

Awesome video :D

The 2 bands enfield is one of of the most beautiful musket all time, so are its small bore 2 bands siblings such as withworth, henry, snider, ect. They all share the same stock, lock and barrel bands.

I tip my hat to you for that grouping.

Excellent video. I will try the 40 grain load in my Pedersoli 1861 Springfield. I have the 575213 mold in both old and new styles. Even have a wadcutter mold. Makes nice round holes and is accurate. If you put some Neatsfoot oil on that sling, it will look much more authentic.

Brilliant, as always. I love these old Enfields - I have four originals in various lengths/configurations. Have you tried using the smooth sided Pritchett bullets with the paper cartridges?

Question ! what is the tool you used to lube bullets and where can they be found to purchase ? Thanks

I love this channel. I'll donate. I hope you manage to find a Brown Bess Carbine. .75 cal and a huge smoke blast. glorious

Lived in Hungary for a year back in 95 and 1996. It has to be the favorite of all the European countries I know of. It's the people that make it that way!

Beautiful rifle. It may not be of any practical use anymore, but it gives that back in pleasing the eyes.

Where did the out get such an awesome piece??? Wow it's nice.

Yessssss love it ❤️❤️❤️

Hey mate lovely video for an awesome rifle! I have a mint Parker Hale 1858 Enfield musket and I have just started the long process of finding a load that works. I was curious as to what loading accessories you use? In particular the cleaning rod and bullet lube tool. Cheers

good shooting.

Wonderful! I just acquired an 1856 Cavalry Carbine. I am still assenbling my kit; I would love to knoe the source for that marvelous bullet lubing tool!

not just sport but also art

wow look at the fit and finish on that rifle..

Loved the clip and this is the main Confederate Rifle Musket commonly seen in American Civil War black and White Photos. What should be done is fired alongside it's Northern Counterpart M1861 Springfield

I love that u use syn engine oil as a lube as I have for all my firearms for years!

thank you from brazil

thanks buddy

Thanks much for another great video. I am interested in obtaining a hand lubing tool for Minie balls like the one used in the video. If anyone knows where this tool can be found please advise.

One of the best channels! I am planning to get my first muzzleloader rifle, already have plenty of other stuff but that is still missing 😀 Do you have any idea what would be the closest guess on what muskets did the Swedish/Finnish troops use in the 30years war? For example in the battle of Breitenfeld?

Thats awsome. I wish Parker Hale still made those in the U.K.

Hi from France, good video as usual, and I know British Muzzleloader who makes interesting videos too .

Where did you get that awesome bullet luber?

How do you get access to to all these fantastic original rifles?!?!?!

i must say for british black powder rifle the snider enfield and martini henry are my favorite i am dont really like muzzleloader but this rifle seems legit

Great clip!.... Right up my alley. Your rifle looks to be in great nick too.... Do you know any of the history of yours?

If you can mount even a minor optic, like 2x or 3x, trying shooting a ladder test at about 300 meters. If you are not familiar with this type of test google it and you will find it will save you an enormous amount of powder and ammunition while looking for a load that your rifle will like. Used it on my recent AR15 and savage model 12 6,5 creedmoor rifles.

Hello, I have gone back to watching this excellent Video (and quite a few of your others too) as I have modified my loading regime for my P53 Enfield. I watched an article analysing the various Minie Bullet designs. The news was that due to the thin skirt of the original Minie (I wanted to get a good shooting performance with the original) its best not to use more than 50 grains of Black Powder. More than that can have the bullet continuing to change shape as it exits the muzzle (As seen using a high speed camera). I really like the tool you use for lubing your bullets, would you kindly give me the name of the manufacturer, thank you. Best Regards Chris (UK)

I also would like to know about that luber you had.... it is great.

how come he doesn't have as many subscribers as hickock.his videos are more informative

I have an Enfield. I have live fired it once. He had bullets a hair too big, which made loading the bullet a pain. It shot well, not much of a recoile that I couldn't compensaite for. I'm snagging my own bullets,

Very nice rifle and groups from a rest. I'd be very interested in seeing how you do offhand with it!

I have a Enfield musketoon, albeit a reproduction, but I can tell you that thing is accurate to levels it shouldn't be compared to more modern guns. I would imagine one of the full length muskets to be just as fun to shoot.

greetings from Croatia

wow!!!!!!!!!!!! what a fantastic rifle you have . Is it of British armies?

you have the exact same powder measure as Hickock45

I have an 1853 Enfield clone by Pedersoli. It is a booger to shoot accurately. A .575 with a thinner skirt works ok if you don't use too much powder to blow the skirt. You just never can find a bullet that works correctly it seems to me.

Excellent video, like always! On 07:10 you say that "to keep accuracy for at least 13 shots". What about then absolute maximum amount of shots that is possible to make in one session? Even if the accuracy will suffer, how many shots can you make, until it's impossible to ram the bullet down anymore?

good

Please, more on the rifle at 3:06. I have one. What is it? What caliber is it. Please identify and possibly do a video. Your videos are informative and great! Once again, please identify this rifle for me. Thank you.

Where did you get the bullet lube device you're using?

Dear Balacz - Please pardon my spelling of your name! I've greatly enjoyed your videos for years. Do you own the guns you review or are they loaners? Thanks for talking like the gentleman you seem to be. Your English is great & I enjoy your accent. I wish you were my son or my son-in-law. Yes, keep your powder dry, watch your top knot, and easy on the "goulash "!!!

Do you know anything about the 1853 smoothbore,Indian made reproductions made in India?I can't get much info on them and was wondering if they are safe to shoot?

Good stuff in here, particularly the relatively small amount of powder, something to try. But why no loading tube/funnel? Wouldn't the use of one of these reduce another variable i.e. it would more consistently deposit the powder to the powder chamber without so much sticking to the sides of the barrel due to contact with the fouling?

Greetings from Russia. Thank You! Great rifle, great video!

Also forgot to ask: How much did you adjust your sight hold when moving from 50 to 100 yards/meters? Thanks.

Nice 🙂😎👍

Impressive results for the old girl.

I'm surprised you're using Swiss 1.5 powder. Most N-SSA shooters are using 3F (Swiss #2) as a propellant. 42 grains is consistent with our best accuracy loads.

Hi +Capandball If you want to record your computer screen to display anything, you can use a program called OBS - obsproject.com/ I don't work for them or anything, I just make videos like you. Also while I'm here I just want to say how much I enjoy your videos and while I shoot modern weapons in Australia, I am looking to now get involved in smooth bore shooting as well. Keep up the good work Mate!

What was the difference between p 56 and p58 3 groove

Mr. Nemeth, at 6:23 we see a small cavity, a void space, at the apex of the base hollow. Years ago I wasted many an hour casting that same bullet, the Lyman 575213 "old style" for my 1863 Springfield, and I never did find a technique that prevented that d*mned void space. Do you have any casting secrets you'd like to share?

Where can I get that bullet luber?

Le coût de ce fusil distense utile et pour un gaucher ?? Merci

wow

how long size of this rifle???

Greetings from heaven!

Sergeant's rifle?

No raiphal this is a gun

What are the differences between the P56 and P58?

The bullet is going so slow you can see them drop into the target!
