Trade Musket shoots low...........

[SeekHer]

Thank you for the welcome...

If it is a true trade gun then it does not have a rear sight and only a bead, ala shotgun, for a front sight.

Also it wouldn't be rifled, the stock would be straight not pistol gripped, probably in .62 to .75 caliber and probably have a metal dragon on the off side...if it has all of these, it is then a trade gun.

The rules of physics apply, either front down or rear up, your choice. Or both.

But the easiest way to check, is just load a heavier powder charge...if it is a .50 than 105 is no problem and charges for larger calibers can be a lot higher than that. This gives you more velocity, which means point of impact is raised as it can shoot farther now.
