Loading Conicals
Looks like these can be shot in most combinations of wad or lube or both. So again what you are are all saying is, whatever the revolver likes best. I appreciate all of your help and I gotta tell ya, I really enjoy shooting this revolver. May have to buy another model too try it out. Thanks... -

Loading Conicals
O.K., I have fiqured out the round ball thing, so now, I have another question. When loading conicals do use wads and over lube or do you use powder and conicals only? How do you folks do it? What seems to be the best way to load a revolver with conicals for the best and more consitant groups... -

These conicals sound interesting. Next time I order from Cabela's, I think I'll order a box of them. Is there another source for these besides Cabela's? I probably won't recieve the powder from them till late this week. It's killing me, I want to shoot this new revolver. Went out back this... -

O.K. this leads me to another question. If you use conicals, do you use wads or just conical against the powder with lube at the cyl. entrence over the conical? Fred -

Hi Blizzard, Where can you order conicals for .44? For some reason selection of componets for BP pistols are really slim around here. We have a Gander MTN., Bass Pro Shops and Dick's within a 50 mile radius, but no one carries much for revolvers but tons of stuff for rifles. I'll have to try... -

I have to agree with you Mykeal. As long as everyone stays safe and has fun, that's what counts. I will probably start out with a light charge and work my way up till I find the load that best works for the revolver. Now that I have some ideas on the correct way to load these things (thanks to... -

So what your saying is Rebel, you pretty much find your most accurate load with this revolver the same as you would do with a bp rifle.Right!!! Fred -

Mykeal, I watched a movie on loading and firing a bp revolver on the Cabelas website. They also advised loading: 1-powder 2-roundball-.451dia. 3-borebutter over the ball This seems like the easiest way to do it.After all the years I have shot bp rifles, it will seem strange not using a patched... -

Thanks Rebel for the great website. Can't seem to find S/S around here. I have another question about these 30gr. units of Pyrodex I see on different websites. Are they used in BP revolvers or only rifles and can they be used in conjuction with a patchless round ball? As you can probably tell... -

Thanks guys, I am making a trip to Gander Mtn. today so I can stock up on supplies. Unfortunatly I'm out of #11 caps so I can't try one on before I go. I guess I'll buy 10 and 11's and see which ones fit. I will post it when I know for sure. Fred -

Hi Everybody
I live in the south central fingerlakes region of New York State. Most of my time is spent hunting and fishing along with target shooting with blackpowder rifles and a revolver. I will be 61 years of age next May God willing. I hunt mainly blackbear and whitetail deer. Along with blackpowder...- fgarnold

Hi everyone, I'm sorta new at this, but I have a quick question. I have just purchased the above revolver and can't seem to find the correct percussion cap # 10 or #11. All the rifles I own are a #11. Does this hold true for percusion revolvers? Thanks for your help. Fred
