Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
You make a good point. However, I plan to save the 2f for when I get a percussion muzzleloading rifle. -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
Have you tried Goex? It's the only one I have had experience with and even though I haven't tried anything else; I like the performance. It was sticky almost like caramelized sugar, but the Wonder Lube cleaning products cut through it. I was very lucky to acquire 2 pounds of it at a local gun shop. -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
Hi, Been away from the forum and I'm back with a little follow-up. I was able to purchase some GOEX FFFg and I went to the range this past Saturday. I used 27grains of powder for a range of 15 yards with excellent results. Shot 30 rounds for a great day of shooting. I love my 1858 New Army and I... -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
If I can acquire FFFg powder before I go out to fire the revolver, I'll use that and save the FFg for a muzzleloading rifle. -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
What about using the Remington's Remdrilube instead of the WD-40? I use it on my other firearms. I am seriously thinking already about making a pair of grips just for the challenge. I'll use the current grips as my patterns and model and when it's time to replace the grips, they are ready to... -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
You're absolutely right, the Triple 7 does not have RS on it. I got things confused. What load volume do you use for your Pieta with FFg? That way I can get a general idea at least to start with safely. Thank you for the advice on the tepid water, hot water will wash away the oils. -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
Oops, my goof, the container of Triple 7 FFg does not have R/S on it. I only want to use a load to allow me to shoot at least 25 yards. Again, I am new to all this so I am relying everyone's expertise here. -

Yes it does, thank you for your input. I plan to use the FFg until I can get some FFFg and save the FFg for when I get a muzzleloading rifle. -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
I also did reading about clean up. Soap and hot water is suppose to be the best thing. I'm assuming I submerge the gun frame and cylinder into the "bath" and scrub it. My wife got me a BP cleaning kit from Traditions, I can probably use that after the soapy water bath. I wonder how much of a... -

Clovis, It's a steel frame revolver. It has a strap over the cylinder. I read the manual that came with the gun as well as watching You Tube videos. I have a flask, wads, balls, measure, #10 caps, and now the powder. I have the wads that have bore butter on them to prevent the chambers from... -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
Thanks! This is my first BP revolver (and BP gun for that matter.) I saw a BP revolver being used in competition on the History Channel's Top Shot and I thought it would be a lot of fun to learn and shoot. I have found out that not many gun shops in my area, (Maryland) carry BP for revolvers... -

Thank you for your reply/advice. My manual called for 25 grains, should I bump it up to something like 28-30? Thank you again! -

Advice needed: Using FFg powder in a revolver
Hello, I am new to this forum and new to black powder revolver shooting. I have a .44 cal Pieta 1858 New Army revolver. My wife gave it to me this past Christmas. My father-in-law switched from loose powder to pellets in his in-line muzzle loader and gave me almost a full container of Hodgdon...
