    @rodwha hey man could you check on your uberti if that part is loosen like mine? Check the clip and you will see what i mean. The thing that makes the cylinder rotate. i don't know the name of the part. But i'm pretty sure that's the problem. I guess a pretty dangerous problem.

    Thanks! I don't get how they made these cartridges tho i mean how can they fire if the powder is covered in tin foil? Also i noticed a thing on my gun. When pulling back the hammer seems like it doesn't always rotate the cylinder into right position. Seems like it sometimes...maybe once of 15...

    Got ya! Yeah kinda same here. Most of people here haven't seen or shot a gun either in their lives. You can barely talk openly about any guns at all here and to everyone i tell i got bp guns i gotta as well explain the unlogical laws about why it's legal otherwise probably the police might be...

    Sounds very interesting since i didn't even know they had any. Would be happy if anyone could show how they look or where to get them. Probably would be helpful! I saw some of plastic on some website before and i'm trying to find them again. Update...

    I will try to make different cartridges and try them out not sure what tho! Maybe if i try to make it even thinner and larger for the paper to break when i shave it down with the bullet it would take more bullets. I gotta see what works

    A detail i forgot but probably you people got what i mean already. All the cartridges went into same chamber since i wanted to see how many it shoots before misfiring etc!

    Yeah man i know it's for riffles but i didn't have any pyrodex P. When i ordered the pyrodex i didn't know all that and ordered the RS but found out it works as well so decided to try and shoot it! Could you explain the difference tho? Which one burns faster and creates more pressure etc? If i...

    Got ya man! Does that work with round balls without wax etc as well? I mean conicals are longer and should isolate better but maybe a round ball is enough i don't know.

    Naaah dude i actually can't imagine it could be any smaller then this...maybe i'm wrong but it's very small so i got surprised the paper could get in there!

    @rodwha hey man! I was outside and tried out shooting some of the cartridges. Guess i need to check up another way for making them. I tried the paper cartridges i made just wanted to tell you it started misfiring on 5th bullet. I shot 4 of them and at 5th didn't fire so i got to loosen the...

    I tried to leave the starr back to the guy who sold it since it wasn't working properly. But he said i can change to another gun but not leave back and get money back so i will probably get a remington instead! I will try to get a .454 rem to get the same sizes for the balls as my current one...

    Loads in a original rem 1858

    Got ya! I will get round balls. I'm curious why conicals got so much worse stopping power it's because they penetrate through the attacker instead of dumping in the energy into the attacker and splitting into parts like hollow point etc does? As you mentioned i notices the speed of bullets...

    No problem dude you help me alot actually i didn't know all that. So i appriciate the help! So even if the gun is .454 the .457 bullets does it better tho? I actually ordered all the bullets i have to make sure about the sizes so that i would know what bullet mold to get. At the start i got a...

    Got ya man thanks for explaining. Maybe i should try to make my cartridges using a wad with wax between the bullet and the wad. It should get out in chamber since the bullet is being shaved down the chamber i guess.... And try out smaller amounts of pyrodex like 15-20 grains...but that's a...

    I'm actually planing to get a casting block because it's so expensive buying bullets! I could try out but what would the benefits be? I mean aren't there any effective enough bullets they used back in time for bp guns? I might get a casting block for a .454 RB. And another one so that i can...

    Ooh got ya! Thanks! The edges on mine are sharp. Not chamfered! What's the difference? I mean why they do that? The lube holes on my conical ones are pretty small i guess i'm not sure since i have nothing to compare with really. Never seen any other types of bp gun bullets before except round...

    Ooh thanks man! Do you btw use any wax or anything in front of the bullet to prevent chainfire while using the cartridges? I guess you do but would like to check if there are any tricks for that part. I mean since it's slowing down the loading process alot. I realized lately while i was...

    Btw guys i got a question. I once made a paper cartridge of rolling paper. But after shooting i detected there were paper left in the chamber. Is there a special trick for that or it's normal? How does that part work? Thinking if that could cause the bullet to misfire after a few cartridges? I...

    Loads in a original rem 1858

    Thanks! I'm thinking of making some paper cartridges so probably might use 25 grains with the conical ones and 30 with the round balls of pyrodex RS. Never said i would carry it around loaded man. It's too big otherwise i would buy a smaller one. Too much risks with doing that. You can barely...
