leavng it loaded
Thanks, I always thought that unburned BP won't hurt anything and will not corrode the barrel. It's after the barrel is fouled is when the corrosion process begins. Is that correct? I just want to make sure. I'm pretty sure this is correct but not positive. Oh on more thing how do you...- thumbs

leavng it loaded
As longs as the rifle was loaded with the barrel clean, can it be left for a week or so without unloading it. Of course in a safe place without a cap on the nipple. The question is as long as the barrel is clean will the black powder harm the barrel or the breach if the barrel cleaned after...- thumbs

Ruger Old Army transport
Good site. I keep getting the same info. As you guys stated offical info is needed to be sure but it sounds like it is pretty accurate since I found the same info in different places. Also this site was upgraded a couple of weeks ago. -

Ruger Old Army transport
Ok do you know where I can go to get the info as to what states Pa works with with the carry permits? Is there a site somewhere that has it? Right now I am concerned with the states I will have to travel through to get to Florida. Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georga and... -

Ruger Old Army transport
Does anyone know the law when it comes to carrying a revolver like the ROA across state lines? I thought there really wasn't any real laws governing the transport of bp revolvers. Don't know though. Can you carry a loaded and capped ROA across state lines say in the cab of your truck. I have... -

paper cartridges revolver
Ok did a little shootin and testin this afternoon. I screwed up and forgot the wads so I had to shoot single shot in the OA. Anyway I tested Cig paper and tea bag paper. Both shot well and both burnt up compleatly in the chambers. They shot even though I did not prick the papers. They are... -

paper cartridges revolver
Well I just did it and ya know I had a little problem with takeing the tea and throwing it away. Ok it "ain't no big deal" but my up bringin makes it hard to thow good "food" (tea) away. I actually saved the tea in a plastic bag and have every intention of using it with a tea strainer. So I... -

paper cartridges revolver
Ok made some up. I didn't put the ball or the wad with the powder. I will add them in the field. Anyway the tea bags look real like they may be the way to go. I got 8 powder "bags" out of each tea bag with no waste. That's 192 charges per box of tea. If they burn compleatly I gotta say your... -

I'll make up a few today and see what happens. If the cap will in fact blow through the bag paper reliably that will help in keeping dampness out of the powder. -

paper cartridges revolver
Ok ya got my attention. I'll pick some up in the morning. Weather is supposed to be pretty bad tomorrow so it will be a good day to make some up. So these things burn up compleatly right? May sound stupid but are there any particular brand of tea that works best or are they all pretty much... -

paper cartridges revolver
I will have to look around and see about the cig papers. They are just so much easier to do than cutting them out. That being said "I ain't payin that for the cig papers" I was really in a rush to try them out. I just went to the convience story knowing if they even had them I would get... -

paper cartridges revolver
Yeah I guess Potassium Nitrate is politicaly incorrect. Oh well sign of the times I guess. Funny though I can get a ton of it on Ebay. LOL Like I said before I did this a few years ago and it worked pretty well. In a hunting situation probably not that important, but at the range it really... -

paper cartridges revolver
Ok anyone know where you can get Potassium Nitrate? Now before you say the drug store I just called CVS and I think they thought I was a terrorist. They were very short with me and offered no help at all. Any ideas? Is this stuff that bad? I did get some before but can't remember where. -

paper cartridges revolver
A couple of years ago I did the whole nine yards. I got the light weight paper, nitrated it and loaded a bunch of rounds. Sure makes it easy to reload. You do have to check the cylinders to make sure there isn't anything left. Just a little pick will clean it out. Or sometimes just dump it... -

paper cartridges revolver
Well that's what it said. I always pricked the bags to make sure the fire is on the fast track. I have tried it but there are times when it doesn't. In a hunting situation I want to be sure. -

paper cartridges revolver
Thanks for the site. I have made them before and they worked very well. The site gave me some new ideas though. The ease and quickness of the reload is a great help. I can make up a bunch of cartridges in the evening and avoid the hastle at the range or hunting. Does anyone know a good... -

paper cartridges revolver
I want to make some paper cartridges for my ROA. I have made them before from scratch but would like to try cigarette papers. Does anyone know what papers to get? Are any or all of them nitrated? Also what weight works best? thanks
