I'd think the ribbed rear portion also ads drag, making it naturally want to nose forward.

BLUE SQERE??? COLORBLIND? OR SHADES???

um Minie' (min Yay) he was a Frenchman hence the accent mark.. not a small ball just sayin, give the man his due as they inventor by not mangling his name.

hit that steel plate a few more times and you'll have a nice wok.

nice

People all over the world will get to know and love Danny, hopefully for many more years to come.

April 2023, I still miss him ! Always a pleasure to hear him 🥲.

lol

😄

Effing love this. Laughed like a crazy person. 😂🤣😂

😂😂😂

I approve.

thank you

Never knew him. But I miss him too.

David Fisher Wow! That was amazing how fat that round expanded.

Excuse you those rounds were sacrificed to Danny's impressive shoulder

the kick on original rifles is less than a shotgun.

@@JeffHokie yeah because a black powder rifle/musket weights about three times as much as a modern shotgun.

@@johnbeck1978 black powder also kicks less than smokeless and is less powerful.

@Stuart Elms the bullets work proof is in the body count is how I took what he was saying

@@joshd2013 I think that was supposed to be a joke. :/

Stuart Elms well i assume that the tombstones were made with some type of human technology, so technology is not written on them, its written with technology

@@chaos_omega if it was they got me lol

Oooooo spooky

Thank you Lars!

Weird how now tanks are going smooth bore As the rifling slows the round down

​@@azmanabdulathat isn't why tanks are going smooth bore. They're smooth bore because it increases the types of rounds they can use like grapeshot and even anti-air guided missiles. But also with fin stabilized sabots the smoothbore is better because the fins do the work.

You better believe I'm checking out The Lube Groove this Saturday night ! They'll be playing at the Hole in the Wall club downtown

Jake Dee you mean Lube Groove is playing at "The Glory Hole-in-the-Wall"? 😂🤣

@@RichardCranium321 I'm bring ma wiggle finger!!!!

NICE!!

Yup, it's called "Drive-band technology" and it is pretty dang cool. A science of physics pertaining to fractions of a second.

I wish we would have found that slug in the vest but it spit it out somewhere on its wild ride.

with a . 54 meplat

This round is a Frikken High Powered Battering Ram!! YES - Please make this into something that can be purchased... I Will Buy!!

And the soft lead would cause massive ammouts if broken bones if hit in the hand.

I work in a high bear population area. These would be perfect for a 800+pound bear or a psychotic moose.

Lyman used to produce a mold for them, the part number used to be #68569 iirc.

750gr. at 1,375fps is only 3,149fpe. Elephants is a bit of an exaggeration.Good moose round though. My 60" twist .58 Hawken made 1,375fps with a 675gr. modified Lyman #57730 Minnie - 165gr. 2F GOEX. That kicked a bit, too. Not quite as good as your .69 cal. 750gr. Version. Well done boys. You too, Danny. BTW - how many gr. Longshot or Steel or is it a secret?

Daryl Sapergia I hunt with “Minnié balls” in both my 50 and 54 caliber in my “Hawken” style rifles which I push to slightly higher velocities and they are soft shooters compared to my 45-70 Rolling Block, 45-120 Sharps style rifle, and 458 Win Mag built on a Mauser action. I have found that most pump style Shotgun’s tend to transfer more felt recoil than the majority of O/U shotgun provided that not “light weight” (weighs 8 plus pounds) firearm have a “flat comb” stock and a decent recoil pad. The reason most pump shotguns is not gun weight so much as stock dimensions to short and to low

It would be a great guide gun for big game hunting say if a few. Guys wanna go for moose with bows in alaska and a bear trys to muscle in on there kill or the moose runs at the hunters it woukd drill there sledge hammers they seem to look like holland and holland. 70 bullets and they definitely drop elephant's if an ak can this round with a high heart shot would drop a bull elephant id say but who knows they seem to penetrate like mad

@@weirdsciencethe2nd205 It would definitely penetrate to the vitals of an elephant at 50 yards. It's also over. 40 caliber, so technically, it's legal.

Thanks again!

It was more about just killing the opponent too. The idea of wounding the enemy to drag down the support capabilities of the enemy didn't come into vogue until the 20th century.

fideau one exactly right! And he called it a damn MINI BALL!! Pisses me off when ppl want to correct others and don't even know what there talking about... Nobody but modern TV host have called that thing a Mina' ball..

I'm not buying anything called Burton's Balls no matter how many or how cheap your selling them.

Exactly! What matters is what is was called by the men who used them.. 200yrs of history tells us that was a mini ball.

@@thespiritof76.. History tells us it was called the Minie, not a mini, and burton didnt rename the bullet, American troops failed to pronounce the french name properly. Its a damn minie ball not a mini. History does not support you on this.

@@arkhaan7066 History doesn't matter it's KZfaq. If KZfaqrs decide to re write history then all we can do is consider it done!

I think he does better using bead or open sights than the red dot.

That was the minie balls intended point , can make anyone accurate and deadly at least back in the American civil war.

Taoflederbat signal, of course!

A scope doesn't make a gun more accurate. It makes the shooter more precise.

Yeah I'm better with iron sights around 80 yards to 100 yards away , no idea why lol any scope from 2x up i miss more than irons at that range.

New York's Pastor Paul Me either. I make my own .490 round balls from lead I gather at the range. Lead is really expensive here in Alaska so if I wanna shoot my dad said I have to gather and make my own. But I always get great groups with my CVA Hawken muzzle loader in .50z and it’s not an in-line either.

I only shoot .495 round ball from my Kentucky rifle, and I can still hit an 8" plate at 100 yards with boring regularity.

Danny is the Black Knight in Monty Python, the Holy Grail

If it's brutal in 12 im should be softer in 20, but you might lose too much velocity to keep the accuracy.

@@julemandenudengaver4580 He couldn't be. If Danny had been the Black Knight, King Arthur wouldn't have finished the film.

That guy is hilarious

thank you Kirk!

I've got a TC Pro Hunter rifle with a .416 Rigby barrel . I'm about to load up some rounds for it , got 40 pueces brass and 100 bullets .

Fit4Survival yeah, I thought that one is a keeper also 😎👍

I always hear the grey beards saying "I was tough and ruthless..now I'm just rough and toothless!"

Fit4Survival He's a tough guy, for sure. 1 1/2 oz slugs are bound to have some fierce recoil. I bought some buckshot, and slugs the other day. I'm gonna raise some hell, and blow some shit up today! It's well worth the pain to me, too. lol

you really dont need a scope for a 50 meter shot, just need to have a zeroed weapon and a good sight picture. you can reliably hit the target so long as you can see it in the sight picture and have the target placed properly within the sight picture. you just have to have the weapon zeroed for whatever range you plan to shoot and know how much you need to lift or lower the barrel to hit closer or further targets from that zero. in army basic training you learn how to shoot with iron sights as apposed to learning how to shoot with only optics (because they can fail) at ranges between 50-500 meters with an m4. in fact you wont even see any kind of optics until you get to your unit. an optic for ranges less than 200 meters is really only helpful if it allows you to get the correct sight picture, faster than you would be able to get the correct sight picture with only iron sights. magnified optics or "scopes" are really only helpful 300 meters and beyond because at those distances the target looks so small it becomes more difficult to place the target within the sight picture properly. unless were talking about the ACOG then none of this is true because its kind of the best of both worlds.

It's an American shoulder Red white and blue after shooting those things

Noice name

@@chuckfinley3152 Haha, thanks.

not as much, they are both lighter and harder, what made them so deadly was they were originally made of soft lead that made them dump their energy way faster than a musket ball. For some really cool old gun technology check out the Whitworth civil war sniper rifle that had an effective range of 800 to 1000yd. Completely outranging anything else from that war, and it had a scope too.

the alt-flight. So maybe an Dmv version would prevent distortion and let it through the lead plate

@@emilypeters8888 It would certainly be hard enough, but I don't know about the mass. Maybe a steel insert in a lead base?

Annealed Aluminum version.

@@zorro456 With a tungsten core.

thank you!

That is Chuck Norris tuff.

thank you Tito!

Brian for one he can't film muzzle loader, too much smoke. Second, it would have to be an antique to accept that .69cal and wouldn't be safe. And third, why would he want to back track? The shotgun is approximately 20-30% increase in power and speed over standard muzzle loader anyway

@@RichardCranium321 Parker Hale sold a reproduction .577 1853 Enfield for re-enactors. Perfectly safe to fire with black powder. Don't know if they are still made though.

Edward Chambers I'm aware, my grandfather has a.577 but that is not .69 for one so it would be a completely different set of parameters & would need a special wad to properly seal .577 into 12ga hull. They have sabot for .50 but this time they just used regular shot wad & it still cut the petals. Also he can't get proper video of black powder w/ his current setup, he has tried bpowder before & it just smokes out the field of view.

Wait, what? Please tell me folks were carrying them as souvenirs or something.

@@mazzalnx eh? i found them while metal detecting in fields so they were probably shooting at deer or practing at targets

@@ArcturanMegadonkey Oh. I thought you were metal-detecting people on a security checkpoint...

@@mazzalnx lol no. checkout some of my videos from a few years back on my channel

thanks!

The loading/casing looked clean and proper, but I was just sitting here waiting to see some springs and bits of shotgun haplessly sproinging off to the side by the end of the video...
