ditchman Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) proberly in a similar way to the way Greenwich arsenal did during the Napolionic wars........that was using a converted flintlock pistol with a pointer on the short barrel and a scale board attatched....a meausered ammount of powder.....and firing and seeing where the pointer settles...........i would imagine things are different now but i wonldnt be surprised if the principle is the same Edited August 23, 2021 by ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
