So I am thinking of picking up another revolver but I really like my 1851 Brass in .44.
So much so that I wonder if I should just buy one in steel if I plan on shooting it a lot.
I don't care about running "hotter" loads I use 12 grain of 2ff and I love the way it handles and the accuracy at the pistol range.
Question is how many shots before the gun becomes unusable if I continue to use 12g of 2f? Anyone with experience have a guess?
I could also spend the cash on a 1858 Remington. I should add I have no interest in converting the cylinders in these.
The remington's small arbor and it being prone to getting fouled quickly is turning me away from it.
It looks really nice though. I have wanted one since I saw it pictured on the box my Colt Navy came in.
What is a good duty load for a bp pistol anyway? Much less a brass one? 50000 rounds?
