    Revolver Reloading On The Field.

    I use a Rem.58 for "woods walk" shooting and reload after the first 6 targets. Last year I used the flask but this year I am using small glass vials that I put my pre-measured powder in. Stew

    leaving pistol loaded

    They generally left one empty chamber to leave the hammer on. Wonder wads would proabably be better than grease and consider using 777 or anouther of the less corrosive powder substitutes. Stew

    Nipple Wrench for 1858 Remy

    The one I use on my Remmy is just like the one the Possibilities Shop sells as stock # 53-1260. It has a Necked down area to get into the nipple pocket and works well for me. Stew

    Taller sights

    Before you buy a replacement front sight, find out how much higher it must be by putting some shrink tubing over the front sight and shrink it down then cut it off a 1/16 th or 1/8th above the stock sight. Try at the range and trim until it works, then order the height you need. Stew
