In 1776, loading and firing a musket typically took about 15 to 20 seconds for a trained soldier. The process involved several steps: pouring powder down the barrel, inserting a lead ball, using a ramrod to pack the ball, priming the pan with powder, and finally firing the weapon. Factors like training, practice, and the condition of the musket could affect this time. Less experienced soldiers might take longer, especially under the stress of battle.
