I'm going to have to disagree with you on the long range edge. Despite the statistical ranges that I got from Wikipedia (sorry, I couldn't find more accurate stats on range), the Baker rifle was more accurate than the Brown Bess due to its rifling of the barrel. However, the Baker rifle loses in reloading time. It has a far more lengthy and complex reloading time than the Brown Bess and that is the tradeoff. With that information, you can decide which weapon gets your edge.
