    1860 colt

    Just enough that the cylinders is able to rotate. About your load, depends in my opinion what you are going to shoot at for what purpose. Just punching holes in a paper target at 25 m you have the options between 8 grain (Swiss Nr.1) to about 20 grain (Swiss no. 3). For those hunting high...

    grouping shots

    Give Zonies advice a real try. With iron sights, that is what I do and it works, really. May be you need two or three times at the range because things nearby and further away you may see unclear and have to get used to it.

    Holsters for Deringers

    That is what I got made by an old hand who is making holsters for almost 40 years now. Now I know what stuff I need and where to get it all in Germany. Next time, I can give it a try by myself. For compensation, I did the Liegi from a kit. The holsters are accompanied by the...

    Result of a "knife" weekend

    Butt Cap is Moose "Elch" we call it and the wood is birch from Finnland. That is slow growing birch over there. Unfortunately not root.

    What revolver to buy

    @flint The rules for target (competition) shooting require traditional sights, grips and so on. Adjustable sights would be great for my eyes but not on this one as it is a collectible replica by FAULT. It has to do as it is. I have to experience, where I hit with that Colt and try to...

    Result of a "knife" weekend

    Just to do some handwork for calming down the nerves during a weekend, that is the outcome: The images during building are lost due to faulty batteries in the camera. :(

    What revolver to buy

    Just got a Remmy

    :hatsoff: Nice looking. Have fun. I would expect him to shoot well with 20 to 25 grain of Swiss FFF. Maybe a .457 ball. Would not be uncommon if 18 grain Swiss FFF is enough for target shooting. What you put between powder and ball, well don't know your stuff but might be the same as over...

    What revolver to buy

    I have all of the "modern" guns you mention and some more. I do not load .44 Mag to more than is required by the competiton rules. That leaves me with about 750 Joule, no need for 1200+ Joule. I have to do competiton single handed and that is why the Walker is not the fist choice. For fun, I...
