    Blackpowder pressures, calibers, steel and wall thickness

    Does the ”honeycomb” construction of a revolver cylinder make it stronger than a single barrel? The reason why I’m ask is because I’m trying to figure out the minimum safe wall thickness for a single shot black powder pistol. The pistol I’m making will be loaded with a .53 roundball (weight 231...

    Goex vs Schuetzen

    I'm sure this has been addressed before but I would like to know about folk actual use of them and the difference. I'm also starting a list of mine and wondering if others in the area would like to jump in on a bulk buy on REAL black powder for Missourians. I'll be dealing with PVI or Buffalo Arms.

    Does black powder ever go bad?

    I have some un-opened cans of FF and FFF powder I purchased about 35 years ago. Shooting this powder in guns I have shot for decades now prints way high and my groups are larger. Maybe its me because I am older, but I am thinking the powder is doing weird things. I guess I need to find a...
