I do believe the gentleman on his initial post indicated that he was using 3F Triple Seven ..I have said it on this forum before that T7 just is not as corrosive as holy black not to mention it's propensity to deliver more velocity volume for volume
Secondly ..I believe you will note he is in...
Oh that’s an easy answer sir.. the gentleman has a much bigger confidence/function problem with not going bang than he does anything else
The probability of BB being the no bang issue is high
Until further testing we do not know why his rifle will only shoot well fouled
The departure from BB...
Stay with the triple seven for the hunt (and thereafter too!)
Keep the rifle upside down and run a caliber correct bore brush through the bore dry just to get the big stuff out
..pull the nipple and clean it with alcohol and let it dry ..clean your flash channel with a pipe cleaner the kind...
Shucks .. you old boys are amateurs.. I put an1860 Colt Army I was tuning out of the way of my wife’s “rearrange “ day in MY SIDE OF THE BASEMENT I might add … and have not found it now in 4 months

I have shipped in the last decade or so over 14,000 pairs of hand made custom grips.. shipping nation wide via USPS 1st class and now Ground Advantage and I cannot see any decline in service or reliability
Shipping in a plain brown box with in house machine printed label w/postage ..I have had...
when working up loads for accuracy on a new to me rifle or bullet change to an old rifle I like to take the shooter (me) out of the variables as much as possible by using not only a bench but a fixture/jig/rest/ whatever to steady up but more importantly reduce variables
I find my Caldwell 7...
Sold some stuff for a tidy profit so I treated me to an Uberti 1858 Remington 8" blue ..I really never read or thought about it but the projectile ram/plunger is set up for conical s for sure ...
As a ball shooter the ram's sharp edges pretty well meet the lead ring shaved from the ball and...
I agree Eric's fix has strength and I agree there is not in this universe a man made product that will take stain, dye, color,, tinting etc. etc. like the actual wood itself ..
Sir I respectfully suggest that before poo pooing sanding into the final layer before the superglue kicks a layer of...
Place the stock in a climate controlled area
Take off the butt plate and seal the end grain with TruOil or latex paint
Place a fan on it to blow down the stock for about a week
Measure your moisture content BEFORE your do anything
You have to get wood to no more than 8% moisture content then...
That's good to hear ..but I did do a search on this forum about this subject before posting and the "work arounds" of the above subject are numerous and scary ..such as pinching #11 caps to get them to stay ..to #11's falling off during a full cylinder attempt and jamming the cylinder ...??
So...
As I contemplate the purchase of a Remington 1858 pattern .44 ..I just realized that from the start I ruled out Pietta simply because I don't want to comb America for #10 percussion caps or spend another $XX.XX dollars for a set of new nipples
Now I have a few RWS 1075's that I read will fit but...
Well think this one through about spare cylinders.. as a metal detector enthusiast I have found some civil war stuff here in Missouri but never a lone cylinder ..further I have watched a lot of videos of very effective with detectors guys in the prime battle areas of the CW and have never seen a...
good for you ..when you run some and if you have time.. cast a couple dozen extra and I'll pay you for them ..I'm almost sure there is not clearance/room in my Colt signature series to get them in the cylinder and I don't want to take the Colt apart to load the cylinder ..I know some guys just...
