    Loads in a original rem 1858

    Okay got ya man! I didn't use any soap except hot water but i cleaned it probably in a hour or so...all parts i even loosened the nipples while cleaning and later on put them back...which is i guess a overkill. Usually i don't do that. But i was worried since i heard about pyrodex being...

    Got ya! 25-30 grains pyrodex is relatively fine tho i guess i'm not overdoing it? Don't want the stuff blowing up in my hand haha Made a couple cartridges of rolling paper yesterday with 30 grains pyrodex and a round ball i want to try! I guess triple 7 is more sensitive working with. Lets see...

    Hey man! I was outside and tried the bp gun today i will attach a video in here. But i tried 30 grains of black powder with some round bullets i had from earlier of kinda different sizes. Some of these were a bit oversized but anyways i have the right bullets now i guess. I will go and clean the...

    Score: Percussion Caps

    I get to pay around $20 + shipping for 250 caps, i can't even find blackhorn in entire country even tho i haven searching for it on internet as well. I barely can buy black powder because you need a box registered at your name for keeping bp in it. And i don't want no box registered on me. I...

    Loads in a original rem 1858

    Thanks man that helps alot! These are the bullets i got! Your guess is 30 grains max load for the conical ones? I will do it the way you told me and try out by highering the load with 2,5 grn slowly. How do i know when to stop? Btw if the chambers are loaded in a while with Pyrodex RS you...

    I guess not with a original one tho? I mean they might break easier then the replicas?

    Yeah man it's in a very good shape no rust etc! I didn't get tho what you mean with +P? Sorry i'm new to all this. If you mean pyrodex P i didn't get it. I got some RS....i did it kinda wrong buying it since i didn't know the difference back then but i heard i can shoot revolvers with it as...

    Not sure how good that is for the gun probably i should stay at 30 grains since it's original and not a reproduction that got harder steel but i'm sure with a RB i could get in at least 40 grains if not more.

    Loads in a original rem 1858

    It's loaded atm except the caps since i'm gonna do some shooting but i can measure it when i get back home! Mine is a original not sure if the originals and reproduction is same size but they should be. A dude in here i think on page 1 measured his chambers as well on 1858 rem you can check that up!

    Thanks man! I will check all that up! Yeah even the hunters etc in sweden who actually got a license can't use the guns for self defense otherwise they go to jail for murder. Even if they are getting killed by robbers... The licenses are very hard to get and even if you drive your car 10 km/h...

    No! I guess to make a gunsmith check it out i would have to ship it to one in USA. And i guess that would be pretty expensive. What exacly you mean the gunsmith should check? It's a antiquarian and if i do any changes to it then it's dropping the price...and i can't buy any piettas etc any new...

    Well on my original sometimes cap falls off after the shot with any type of deformation with 30 grains. Wouldn't say they were flat

    Thank you! Yeah i guess i better stay with around 30 grains! It's old and very expensive over here so i better be on safe side

    Thanks that's interesting to see! Gonna get out and experiment some with my rem some day! Ordered new bullets i wanted to try since people had them back in time before round balls! they're 215 grains 454 bullets. Guess 25 grains of real bp should be fine! Thinking of these bullets 😀
