Sure glad nothing like that goes on today! 🤔 -
Reference material on percussion revolvers?
Agreed. Most are obsolete by the time they’re printed. -
Ruger Old Army
I’m hoping he lists the 5.5” version, can’t wait for the spin on that one! -
Maximum loads for 1858 Remington
That will do nicely for whatever you need to stay hit. -
Ruger Old Army
I’ve owned and used the ROA since they were first introduced. A wonderful revolver and I’ve never owned one that couldn’t be coaxed into producing gilt edged accuracy. I did not know that the design was based on the truly remarkable Colt 1858 Remington New Model Army! In that case I love them... -
What is the deal with the fouling ring
Four ought stainless steel wool works better than anything else I’ve used. Fifty strokes of an oiled steel wool patch will make a difference.- Bad Karma

Reference material on percussion revolvers?
The Colt collectors website has some good info. Also, RL Wilson authored many books on antique firearms and is a widely recognized authority. Charles Pate is another. Haven and Belden are two more. -
What do you guys lube your C&B revolvers with?
I use a veggie fiber wad sold by BACO, $20 for 1000. The .462”x .030” are perfect for my .45 rifles and the .45 daily carry revolvers as well. Most of the time I shoot conicals and they’re lubed in the grooves only with SPG/StihlSyntheticHP/and jojoba oil mixture. Great accuracy, zero leading... -
Uberti 1861 navy
The short arbor by itself won’t cause a windage error as you describe it. Just guessing but I think I’d check the alignment of the bore with the frame. Edit: D’uh! Like @smoothshooter already suggested… -
54 problems
It sounds like it’s not grouping well, different problem than shooting high. What load are you using?- Bad Karma

picked up some revolvers
In the case of the Ruger Mark I it’s really kind of understandable… -
picked up some revolvers
Love the signature line. My dad used to say that all the time… -
Pietta 1858 New Army revolver and conical sizing
They’re an original design for Colt and Remington revolvers and they work just dandy. -
New in the box c code 1851 colt
That’s a pretty good price for a really well kept piece. I don’t own anything I haven’t shot. -
R.Johnson model 1836
That’s only 25 yards. I’ll bet the gun will surprise you when you’ve got a good load sorted out. -
Help a newbie understand what went wrong...
There you go… I met a guy at the Stock Show and we had made a trade for his Bisley Colt. I can’t remember what it was I traded but we met at that range to make the swap and shoot a bit. Left town in a snowstorm we would have largely missed had we not stopped to do the deal. Nothing quite like...- Bad Karma

There was one in Lakewood many years ago. I can’t recall the name or the street it was on but it’s probably buried under concrete and asphalt anyway.- Bad Karma

Hunting loads for my .58 black powder rifle
My best friend has been retired from the DOW for jeez, 15 years now! I used to ***** about various rules and regulations to him, and then to his replacement. He always thought I pretty much did as I pleased on my own property anyway…- Bad Karma

Hunting loads for my .58 black powder rifle
Colorado also allows hunters to use a 35# draw weight bow for elk and other big game. So a 35# Osage longbow casting a 400 grain arrow at probably less than 165fps is perfectly reasonable and lethal for elk and a 400 grain .40” bullet at 1300 fps is not. Make it make sense…- Bad Karma

Hunting loads for my .58 black powder rifle
You might consider a .40 for that pronghorn rifle… 300-400 grain bullets are so pleasant to shoot!- Bad Karma
