    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Oooh okay man. The balls didn't come from the seller. The balls are from a gun store. I ordered 100 round balls of 457. And about the black powder. Not sure about what type of black powders there are out there or how many but a friend checked and confirmed it's real black powder at least not...

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    The air space tween between the bullet and the powder in the chamber? Man it's sitting so hard i barely can push it down no more. I was afraid the loading arm on the gun would break while getting it in. That's the reason i got worried and started asking on here but as far i get it since it's...

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    All i know is it's black powder. The thing is i recently bought both the guns and got the black powder with the guns for trying them out but never asked that guy what type of black powder it is. I'm new to all this with black powder guns. I never even shot the remington yet so far. Only the...

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    I got a starr army cal 44 as well. It doesn't function as good as the remington but i will send a pic of them both 😀 none of them is any type of copy because it's not legal owning a copy without a license here. It needs to be produced before 1980 in order to be legal. We got crazy laws over here

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Sure man! I will post it here later. Can take a few days depending on if i'm going to wait for the tools to loosen the nipple and take out about 10 grains bp for sake of safety before putting the nipple back and shooting 😀 or just shooting the way it is lol

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    I will do one of these 2 i guess. Either just shoot them out or loosen the nipple and take out around 10-15 grains of bp and put the nipple back on and shoot i guess! 😀

    Thanks for sharing the wisdom man. Yeah i heard you can fill the cylinders pretty much full that way as long the cylinder rotates and the ball is in but it's ofc not recommended.

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Naaah man it's not new. It's probably 160 years old even tho it looks pretty new. That's why i'm a bit extra careful with it. According to our stupid gun laws in sweden we can't own new produced guns. A licens is very harsh to get and the gun have to be produced before 1890 in order to be legal...

    Thanks man! I will try some 454 bullets to see if they work better.

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Not sure where they are importing the bullets from they sell where i just ordered mine. Ordered 100 of 454 bullets to try out and a tool for removing a nipple. Probably i will lower the amount of bp in that chamber because of my paranoia to be on the safe side and shoot that bullet out. 🙂

    Thanks man! 😀
  15. Crypt0manic

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Right! That might be my paranoia but good to be safe. The reason i started thinking that is because i can't push in the bullet any further. I just ordered the stuff to remove the nipple. Probably might have it in a few days. But is that a common thing the bullet won't go all the way in even tho...

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Thanks man! Yeah i heard about the lead ring. The weird thing that freaked me out is why the bullet won't get in further i thought it might be more pressure to the chamber if the bullet can get anyhow "stuck" in there and explode. That's what made me worried or in case it doesn't go in further...

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    As you san see all of the other bullets went faaar more way back then that one did and it seems pretty stuck i can't push ut in no more i'm worried the gun will break if i push harder.

    Discharge or shoot my remington 1858?

    Hey i'm new here! i got a remington 1858 cal 44 percision cap and ball revolver. So i got 457 round bullets. While charging the chambers with 30 grains of bp and the round bullets i realized it requiers me too much power to push them in. Some went in pretty easy but at 2 of them i was scared the...
