    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    The loads I was using in the video, which I meant to state and flat-out forgot, was 30 grains of FFFG under a .451 lead round ball. As I mentioned, I was using "wonder wads"between the powder and the ball. HRF

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Thank you! My Pietta has a steel frame and it's finished in what they call "Old Silver". I believe that's just another name for nickel because that's what the finish looks like. HRF

    Cap & Ball Revolver vs. Modern Handgun Qualification Course

    Hi all! Attached below is a link to my latest video. In it, I am standing the concept of the modern defensive handgun on its head as I take on the current Ohio Peace Officer's handgun qualification course with my Pietta/Remington New Army revolver. To see how it goes, follow the link. As always...

    A New Video With the T/C Hawken

    Hi folks! you were all so accommodating a few months ago when I posted the video series with my Pietta revolver, that I thought I'd send another one your way! The fall of the year is my favorite time to bring out my T/C Hawken and burn some black powder. This is just a fun video. I hope you...

    1858 Pietta problem and cure

    You're probably right. I've shot everything from airguns to machine guns, but one thing I have never shot is a flintlock. I need to rectify that deficiency some day. HRF

    1858 Pietta problem and cure

    Thank you! As I mentioned in the video, this is my first BP revolver. Being used to more modern firearms, I didn't go to the bother of an initial disassembly/cleaning. I doubt I'll make that mistake again. On a positive note, I really enjoy shooting the New Army. It will probably not be the last...

    1858 Pietta problem and cure

    Thank you! I actually did not buy replacement nipples yet. I really wamted to see if I could get the revolver to run with the factiory nipples. I may well replace them at some point in the future, but for now I'm just happy to have my revolver running properly with the factory parts. Thanks...

    Point of Impact

    Well, after posting my question about swabbing a bore with alcohol, I was all set to give it a try today; or so I thought. When I was packing up to head out to the range, I discovered we had no alcohol in the bathroom (isn't that the way it always seems to go?). So I did my best to clean the oil...

    Alcohol in your bore?

    Alcohol in your bore?

    This being New Year's Eve, I will probably put some alcohol somewhere tonight, but I'm new to the idea of swabbing the bore of a Muzzleloadrer with alcohol to remove oil prior to loading. Is this plain old rubbing alcohol that's used for the purpose? (I'm fairly certain the procedure has nothing...

    Just got back from the range

    I was thinking of storing it in my rifle's patch box. That's no guarantee that I won't loose it since I'll probably forget I put it there when I go to look for it the next time! HRF

    Just got back from the range

    I'm thinking about removing the disk for hunting and using the sight like a ghost ring. I want to do some more range work though, before I try that in the field. HRF

    Just got back from the range

    At 20 degrees and with a couple feet of snow in the driveway, my trip to the range today was not for the faint of heart. I didn't have much choice though, because I had to sight in my new T/C tang-mounted aperture sight before I try to hunt with it in a week or so. I found the sight to be a...
