Hoppes Peppernill

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Hi,

I am the proud new owner of a Hoppees(' ) Pepperrnill  ... although 99% of the time it will be used reenacting, I would like to know what it shoots. The serial number is P02631

My guage went from0.31 to .37 depending on the chamber measured.

The customer service at Hoppees were clueless.

Does anyone have an idea what this shoots?

It should take a .350 round ball with a .010 prelubed Oxyoke patch

leastwise, the one I had did.

Wish I had it back.

The photo of the bell pepper target was awesome, the impact left a very clean cut.  Looks like it was shoot from very close as the pepper appears to have been virtually cooked by the muzzle blast

Mine, too, and I wish I had it back, too.

"My guage went from0.31 to .37 depending on the chamber measured."

Hopefully this is a typo.  A spread from .31 to .37 would make it basically un-shootable unless you used a different size ball in every chamber.
