R.D.Pascoe said:I have been wanting a 1858 44 cal. 5-1/2" I've just about decided on the cimmaron, but is the 40 or so dollar add on cost money well spent as compared to a peitta from cabelas? Read a little bit in the archives,it didn't help me narrow the choice between the two. Can anyone gice me a little nudge in a direction?
Tanz, Thats a fine set-up you put together. Nice group, too!

Many Klatch said:Tan, you probably just saved me a couple of months of fooling around. I just bought a Pietta 1858 Remington and I was wondering what to load it with. Thanks for sharing.

Many Klatch said:Hey Tan, I shot the new to me Remington today. I had a lot of fun, but the pistol looks like it shoots about a foot low and left. I tried different powder charges from 20 to 35 and they all wound up low left. Could be me, but the last load was off a bench and still hit low left. I reckon I can file down the front sight for the vertical and I can bend the front sight some for the horizontal.
I didn't have all the foofaraw that you are supposed to use to shoot. All I had was powder, ball and caps. I shot 6 cylinders full and the cylinder started to get difficult to turn. So I quit and came back home.
35 grains of 3F really makes that bad boy roar.
BTW, where do you get a nipple wrench that will get the nipples out of the cylinder.
