Ammo

[kevinsclassicplumbing]

I am in Scottsdale, Az. Where can I find ammo?

IF you know a plumber you might be able to find some lead to cast into ball.

I am a plumber and I have some lead. But I don't have the casting equipment caps Or barrel butter. I would like to just be able to buy everything at once. Any suggestions? Thank you for your reply.

What is this “ammo” that you speak of?

I recently bought an Italian replica of a Remington muzzle load revolver. It is asking for .45 caliber back powder

Try bass pro or Cabellas. Maybe Walmart come fall.

Or online. Or cast your own..

I called Bass and Cabellas and they were no help

www.powderinc.com But you have to buy a large enough quantity to justify the HazMat fee. :-(

On the other hand . . . then you have LOTS!

Let’s back up…. What do you have that you need to feed?

At a minimum you will need to buy powder and caps. Stick to roundball starting out. You will need .454 or .457 ball depending on model and manufacturer although .457 will work in most but it may take more force to seat them if using a revolver meant for .454.

Post the brand and model and I am sure someone here can tell you which size you need.

I am sure you can find a gunstore or sporting goods store that carries ball and a substitute powder. Caps can be ahrd to come by right now. Many online retailers will have everything except caps. Bore butter is available from most places but crisco works in a pinch.

Thank you, .457 is what I am seeing on you tube to create a better seal , I called all around locally and I could not find the ball or caps and crisco was also mentioned

I found powder and ball at Graf & sons. now I need to find caps

The scrap yard usually has lead for cheep, I pay $0.80/lb andi don't think I am allowed to tell you how to make your own powder but it isn't hard. I figure I can make a pound of powder for under $10 and shot depends on caliber but even my 4-bore I can get it down to about$0.20/ rb

Try Thunderstick Trading in Tucson. They usually have everything you need. Can be pricey nowadays.

Graf's should have caps. The caps do come in and leave very quickly.

Track of the Wolf will have already made balls and other stuff, molds etc. Go to their site, go to the search box and then get out your credit card
