    Maximum loads for 1858 Remington

    It has become my go to edc onthe ranch and around society. Got a nice shoulder rig from triple k and its not pulling my pants down anymore which makes it a lot less hastle. 😆 Odds of me needing it in a self defense scenario against a human are extremely slim due to my isolation and I enjoy the...

    Polish capper question

    They are different than the standard in the pull is straight back not sideways. I was skeptical but they work and are my go to cappers. Their star capper works with tap caps as well. I set the caps with a dowell on revolvers and my thumb on rifles out of habit anyways.

    Gun range lead concerns

    We are going full California here in Beaverhead county sadly. Lot of Montana is lost now so make sure you do the due diligence before moving.

    Pietta 1858 New Army revolver and conical sizing

    I shoot .454 roundballs and .457 conicals(kerrs)in the pietta 58's. No reaming or chamfering and don't feel the need to they shoot pretty good as is for me.

    Conicals for revolvers

    Yeah me too. The tow nipples work really well for me if the slixshots don't for you. Cap fit is perfect with cci#11 and remington #10.

    How do you guys not have issues with undersized balls backing out under recoil?

    Maximum loads for 1858 Remington

    35 to 40 under roundballs is what I like as well. Usually 30 to 35 under conicals seems to be where I like it.

    Conicals for revolvers

    I have a pile of used roundballs and conicals of various caliber and hearing a .50 goes through a deer without deformation is surprising. In print they don't go deeper than 6" with a 60 grain load of t7. Does fragment the ball into a lot of pieces and the enegy transfer appears to be...

    Conicals for revolvers

    I shoot taped and compressed romance novels my wife brings home. Best use scenario for such things and was a real eye opener regards projectile performance. The most surprising to me was the .50 rifle and prb.

    I have to rethink the spare cylinder idea

    We are much dumber than they were of that I have no doubt. We produce college graduates who cannot define a woman and believe a man can menstrate.
