Accept the sidelock for what it is. A primitive weapon with limitations.
You do realize that there were sidelocks that shot 1000 yards in the mid 1860's right?
They were fast twist with peep sights and "new fangled bullets" And since they could shoot 1000 yards I don't see that they would have many limitations. There were gun cranks back then. Joseph Whitworth made "Hot Rods" for back in the day. They are still Hot Rods in my Book.
