    What do you guys lube your C&B revolvers with?

    For RB I use a wad. Non lubed for long term and lubed if I know it will be shot soon. For conicals I just use whatever lube I have in the grooves. I have found Burts Bees original chapstick to do quite well.

    opinions of best twist rate for 45

    From what I have learned (which isn't much) a slower twist rate is preferred for round ball. A faster twist is wanted for conical. 1:48 is the happy medium that doesn't excel with either, but shoots both with acceptable accuracy. I personally have a 45 with 1:66 twist that shoots round ball...

    NW Alabama Meet n Greet Fall 2024

    For those that came today Thanks! It was, as always, a lot of fun! For those that didn't make it, you were missed. But maybe you can make the next one! I reckon the only one to have any real aggravation was myself. But, it was my own fault! The two rifles I chose to bring out failed to fire...

    Importance of Shot Placement vs Power

    I started out and grew up small game hunting with airguns. Very quickly I came to understand the importance of knowing your game, weapon, and ability. Then keep all shots well within those limits. Whatever I'm hunting, I not only study their patterns and behaviors. But also study their...

    How to cut grease notches in a ‘58 Remington cylinder pin?

    I run a patch every cylinder. I also pull the cylinder every 5 reloads and run a patch and give the pin a quick wipe and a little grease. The latter adds maybe 30 seconds to my reload time but keeps me shooting all day.

    Safely firing an antique gun

    The camera usually has its own wifi to connect with your phone. Turn on the camera, then open the wifi settings on your phone/tablet. This will sometimes install a required app. Then just open the app with the device connected to the camera. Yours could be different tho.

    Keeping an 1858 loaded indefinitely

    After cleaning, I wipe the entire gun and cylinder with a patch with olive oil. Then wipe dry, including the bore and chambers. Never have any issues with rust or hang/misfires.

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    Any gun is capable of being carried effectively for self defense, if you understand the capabilities of both yourself and the round being fired. Yes, some are better than others, and some are overkill. Just know the point of aim vs. point of impact, understand the penetration and expansion of...
