1858 Pietta 1st time ?
I loaded with 25 grains fff and a felt wad and a .454 ball and I still have some room at the top of each cylinder. I know (now) that I should have used filler to get the ball closer to the barrel. Will this cause me a problem for 12 shots? Does anyone know how much filler (cream of wheat) it... -

1858 Rem / Pietta Balls
Anyone using .451's instead of .454's? When I bought it at Cabelas they only had .451's but then I read the instructions and I should be using .454's. I guess I shoot'em up, but do you think my accuracy will be seriously impaired? Thanks - just getting back to shooting after a couple three... -

The Wedge in an 1851 Navy
So the wedge is going to come out, screw or not, right? The screw is a "stop" to mark how far back in it goes in reassembly, so as not to drive it too far in and bind the cylinder? Just checking. -

The Wedge in an 1851 Navy
I also read not to drive it in too far or the cylinder won't move.
