    45 cal barrel length.

    Well heck, I shoot my Lyman Great Plains Pistol all the time with 45 grs of Pyrodex "P". The recoil doesn't seem all that bad. :idunno: Now, I sure would not want to take it elk hunting, no way. :bull: I forgot to say the pistol is .54 cal using a .530 round ball about 222 gr weight...

    What size percussion cap is right?

    I had the same problem, I was trying CCI # 10's, too small. Remington #11's- fell off. Went to Remington #10's-problem solved, fit just right, just bought the Pietta new from Cabela's about 2 weeks ago, don't know if older pietta's have the same nipples, probably not. So, you might give the...

    Rogers & Spencer-What a kick in the head!!!!!!

    Right, with the .454 I got a very fine sliver for a ring, with no real effort needed to seat. I like getting a fair ring when I seat RB's, I don't want to have to pull a king kong to seat a ball either. :shake: Dale

    Using FFg in bp revolver

    It might be the climate the powder is stored in. Here in Wyoming there is virtually no humidity, and I keep my powders in a closet in an unheated room, that does not get damp :hmm: Where are you located :confused: Dale

    Using FFg in bp revolver

    I've got Pyodex "P" and "RS" which are over ten years old, and it is shooting just as well today as the day that I bought it FWIW. :hmm: I have never noticed Pyrodex being any better nor worse than regular black powder. :confused: Dale

    nipple wrench for 1862 Police

    Now that is one heck of an idea. :hmm: It wasn't as bad as it sounds, i've got a vise with wooden jaws, and had a good amount of cloth wrapped around the cylinder. I will use your idea in the future though. :hatsoff: Thanks. :thumbsup:

    nipple wrench for 1862 Police

    Just a follow-up, I received the "Baby deluxe nipple wrench" from the Possibles Shop today. I works like a charm on my Uberti 1862 Police. :thumbsup: The thing that really bugs me though is how tight Uberti had them installed. :hmm: I had to put the cyclinder in a vise and REALLY crank down...

    nipple wrench for 1862 Police

    I saw that one, but the one sold by the Possible Shop is even smaller, and it too is designed for the '62 police & 1849 wells Fargo etc. Thanks for looking though :thumbsup: Dale

    my GP pistol

    I have the .54 cal GPR with both barrels and the .54 cal pistol. I haven't shot the pistol much, but the rifle with the optional sights is a real tack driver, have had it about nine years now. Good job on the pistol. Dale
