    4F in the Pan and keeping powder dry

    Is there a reason why I shouldn't use 4F powder in the pan of my flintlock? While hunting, over a period of a couple of days, how do I go about keeping the load in the barrel dry? I have found that the load might get damp by way of the vent hole.

    Lead for Bullets?

    Thanks for the iformation. I looked on the web site and noticed that it had 99.9% for the fifty pound sale. Would it be correct to assume that the percentage is that it is almost pure lead? Is that a hardness of five.

    Pietta Paterson

    I thought that #10 is smaller than #11. If I put #11 caps on a #10 nipple shouldn't they fit big on the nipple and thus fire better? I guess I'm confused.

    Pietta Paterson

    I recently purchased a Pietta Paterson from Dixie Gun Works. It is a very good looking pistol. However, it is without a doubt the worst cap and ball pistol out of the box that I have ever owned. The cylinder doesn't lock well if you pull the hammer back quickly. The nipples are horrible. It...

    .50 caliber CVA Kentucky / size ball & patch?

    I have been shooting a CVA Kentucky rifle for a couple of years and I have found that it is difficult to load with the wooden ram rod. What is the best combination of ball size and patch thickness that would still cause accuracy and easiy load with the wooden ram rod. Thanks, Logan

    New Paterson

    Thanks, I got it apart and cleaned it. Did you have a problem with the nipples. I tried #10 and #11 Remington caps and #11 CCI and they were all a little small. I guess I'm going to have to take off material from the nipples. I have another Pietta and I had to do that with it. I now see...

    New Paterson

    I got a new Pietta Paterson in today. The thing is that I'm not sure how to take it apart. Does it come apart like other cap and ball pistol? I pushed the wedge out and tried to pull the barrel off and it was really tight and I couldn't get it off. I was afraid to force it. Also, I can't...

    uberti paterson

    I have found an uberti paterson revolver to buy. However, I was wondering how difficult it is to remove the barrel and take off the cylinder. I have other C&B revolvers and I put them on half cock and use the loading lever to push on thy cylinder to help take off the barrel. What about the...
