I have a 1862 Colt snubnose revolver from Cabelas,does any one have any load data and range time with one.
 
Have made a couple of similar through the years from ill-kept revolvers. The .36 was fun to shoot with about 30 grains of FFFg. The other was a whacked down M.1858 Remington that got trimmed off an inch ahead of the front of the frame and had a half-moon piece soldered on. By twist of fate, was right-on for a chamber full of FFFg! What a trip..."the .44 spoke, and spat leaden smoke and 17 inches of flame!"...at least. :rotf:
