    Tumbling your balls...

    I'm wondering, if a person uses lead round balls in a tumbler to help process something, like charcoal, will it deform the balls so they won't be useable, as ammo?

    Olde thyme photos

    As you can see, with a mug like mine, less photo quality is good. My sister says I was a pretty baby but soon got over it.

    Olde thyme photos

    Unsure which forum to post this in but... I want to have some photos taken of my wife, our dog, and myself that look like old photos. I have let my beard grow as long as it's ever been and I have a Confederate uniform to wear. My wife is willing to wear appropriate period correct clothing, and...

    20 percent more powder?

    Yeah, thanks a lot. I was avoiding using the h word. Glad you cleared it right up. Appreciate it. I'm sure others on here make and use it.

    20 percent more powder?

    No but the same question would apply.

    20 percent more powder?

    I have heard, repeatedly, that "certain" powders, require 20% more, by volume, to get the same results as commercial powder. No problem in a long gun, but what about cap-n-ball revolvers. Will revolver champers hold 20% more. I have not yet tried any, nor have I tested a chamber to see if a load...

    Bullet molds

    This bullet mold came with the cased 1851 Colt Navy I just bought. I've read that these molds are mostly for display and don't make good quality bullets or balls. Is that true? I believe I'll just buy some balls like I do all my other black powder guns.

    .31 caliber revolvers

    I love the Remington but I won't be buying a new one for $400+. I don't want one of the Colts without a rammer. I'll see what turns up.

    .31 caliber revolvers

    Limited by budget to reproduction guns, what is available? Any company reproducing, now or in recent past, any .31 caliber revolvers besides Colts? Not that I have a problem with Colts, actually prefer them, but wondering what might be available.

    My cap-n-ball revolvers

    These all might be junk, but they're my junk. All are reproductions. Upper left, a laser engraved 1851 Navy, but in .44 caliber, below it my 1860 Colt Army, brass frame that I bought in 1973, upper center, the '51 Colt Navy in the case that I bought a couple of days ago, below it, a Remington...

    My 50+ year old brass 1860 Colt

    Will someone who knows where to look, and how to do it indicate on my pic what to look for to see the damage, please? Thanks.
