48:55 logic of the firing positions. I'm not saying this was the logic behind them, but I can see reasoning behind the choice of firing positions in the Defence practice. Firing from the prone position at long range makes sense as you present a smaller target, but rising to the standing position as the range closes also makes sense - if the enemy manages to close you're into melee, and you don't want to be caught prone when its cold steel time, so getting to your feet before the crucial moment so you can better defend yourself seems a good idea.

The Martini-Henry rifle is a iconic symbol of Great Britain in Victoria's time. Kipling wrote about the Martini-Henry into quite a few of the Indian Tale's. I believe the period in which this Beautiful work of mechanical engineering, was the Zenith of the greatest Anglo-Saxon heights, defined the Empire. It is true the Royal Navy projected power, but the Martini-Henri enforced the Power of the Greatest Empire since Caesar & Augustus. Wonderful video, makes me want a Martini-Henry in .577/450 with British proof marks. I have a Gahendra, but it is a wreck.

Great history lesson again Rob. 😄👍👏👏👏👏👏As regards your shooting and point of impact on target. Your rifles front sight is probably rounded and shiny, so you will naturally shoot away from the light. Meaning, if the sun is on your right side, your shots will tend to group left and vice-versa. Your eye naturally centres on the brightest spot of the front sight. This is why good target iron sights are flat faced and blackened, or shrouded, to cut reflection. A lesson I learned when I shot service rifle many moons ago.😁

My problem was the opposite. Since I shot my US M-1903 Springfield, US M-1 Garand and US M-16A1 in competition, (1st in Military School and later the M-16A2 & A3 in the Army), I was always looking at the darkest part of the front sight. That is, I always imagined the black silhouette of a lollipop with a thick stick, so I would sort of transpose that imagine in mind onto my front sight & target.

Great video! Again! LoL! That rifle has a very distinctive 'tone' to it. It really shows up in shots from a short distance away. That said, I noticed a definite difference in the sound of the 2nd and 4th rounds that dropped left off that 265yd shoot. They didn't have the snap and hustle like the 1st and 3rd round did. And are you getting bullet deflection from the bayonet as well when that's applied? All those gases bouncing off it and leaving deposits have to go somewhere. And I'm sure it's right back to bully that bullet. Maybe? You're the man with the rifle. I'll leave you to it.

My assumption for the defensive shooting drill is starting prone at long range and gradually assuming a higher firing position as the enemy closes would be because you don't want to be caught in a prone (defensive posture) when there is serious risk of close contact. I'd want to be standing to receive a charge.

Learning a lot from your videos. I've just bought a Martini-Henry Mk IV. Have to decide between bullet moulds for paper patching or grooves for lubricant instead. Do you have any thoughts on this? The rifle is in reasonably good condition, great bore on it. Unfortunately, the lever falls open easily and has a fair amount of play in it, it's just not sitting in the cup properly. I've read information on hammering the lever to adjust it but I'm not sure that'll have the desired effect as even if it seated nicely in the cup, it does seem loose where it hinges.
