How did military armies load their muskets especially the British since it was not allowed to put the powder and bal down the barrell at the same time?
I am also curios about ,musket wadding
First of all was absolutely necessary?
Where did the wadding go between the ball and the powder or on tope of the ball?
Where did the wadding actually come from, I know that Napoeleonic armies used their aper wrappers for their wadding but what about frontiers men who used powder frm a powder horn?
Thanks Andy
