Yes the Brown Bess musket has a bore of .75in. It fired a 1ounce ball up to an effective(not accurate) range of about 150 yards and served as the standard,in one form or another,musket for well over 100 years in the British army.It would have seen action early on in its life at Cullodon and was more or less obsolete by about 1850.
