Yep, Back in the 70's I was shooting a lot of light bench matches "14lb" and
under. I had a couple of bench guns with the best made custom barrels at
the time. Douglas, H & H, and a Don Goucher. All were 50 cal. At 50 yds, they
would all shot 5 shots into 3/4 inch groups. So one day I took out my Zouave
Zoli Musket and guess what? It too would shoot that also right along with
the best of my bench guns. Kind of ****** me off that a old Musket made
it Italy that cost 72.00 new would do this. Thats the one in the picture. I
still shoot it. Same load as in 1976. 55 grs. Goex FFF, 575 ball and .020
thick blue & white stripe pillow ticking. The barrel on the musket is a 3 groove
1 in 72 twist. It will shoot any powder charge from about 50 grs to 100 grs
The accuracy is scary on these Zoli made Muskets.
