I bought my first C&B revolver in 1973. In all the intervening years, and all the different smoke wagons I've had, I have never fired a conical! It's been round ball for me every time. Now I'm curious and have decided to try conicals.
Exactly what will I need to do to my Remmy and Colt Army's to make them accept conical cartridges or loose components in the field? Specifically, I mean.
Dremel out the notch on the frame? How much? Do I need to do something to the rammer itself? How do I know when I've done enough, or too much? I'm a very handy guy, but I'm not a machinist. This is something one can do at home?
We're talking about .44's, Colt & Remington, and bullets cast by the .450 Lee conical mold.
Thanks much, and any suggestions, comments, observations, or name calling are very welcome. Well, maybe not name calling...
