    Gunpowder

    Interesting topic. Interesting to hear from people here who dealt with such things. I remember as a teenager going to an estate auction near Aladdin Wyoming, They found an old case of what they were referring to as Dynamite in one of the buildings and the sheriff's deputy came out and wrapped...

    Bullet casting/sizing advice welcome...

    I once solved a similar problem by polishing the bore out real good right at the area where the slug goes into the lands, It was a 54 caliber and I got a 50 caliber round cleaning brush and got it mounted on the end of a rod with a drill on the other end and stuck it in there and spun it for...

    Conical bullets in a cap and ball revolver

    I was looking for conical bullets that were used in the old muzzleloaders and found some of these pictures of what the originals looked like, If I or some of the other brothers here find some pictures of the original caps maybe we'll start a thread here about original percussion caps

    heap of fun at the ol homestead here too. Thank God for our freedoms responsibilities and liberties that we have been blessed with. In many places in the world people can only dream of taking a cap and ball revolver out and blasting empty cans or punching paper

    Bullseye Shooting with Pietta Navys, some random observations

    I'm glad you're having fun with your revolvers. I took my two favorite muzzleloading revolvers out this morning and went through a handful of bullets and half a can full of caps. Shot up targets from 10 yards to 100 yards , it's a lot of fun. But I don't need to tell you that, you're having as...

    Is it recommended to bore out cylinder to barrel diameter on Italian replica revolvers?

    Remembering loading and shooting my first cap and ball revolver, the mold I had was way too big and the rb's fit in it so tight that eventually I broke the gun from the pressure on the frame from loading it, it was a brass framed open top and the bolt broke from the brass fram after several...

    Going to just share some things that elmer keith taught us, you may get something out of it as you consider what size of bullets to use in your six gun.

    I am looking for a mold for the type of conical that the 36 Navy originally used, Maybe somebody's already referenced it on here ? I'd like to try the heavier conical bullet for myself in my 36 Navy
