    1863 pocket model question

    My question on the type of powder and charge used has nothing to do with his issue. I was just curious about what he used and how much, cause I also own a Remington Pocket. Apologies......should have stated that bit in my post.

    A favour to ask

    Hi guys! I have a favour to ask. I am busy designing a wooden case for my 1863 pocket revolver. Can anyone measure and supply me the outside diameter and height of a CCI #10 tin? I don't have one with me at the moment. Cheers RATKAS

    Round Ball Pouch

    Sorry, I'm a bit late to this discussion, but really nice pouch there brother. I love the simplicity. There's an old saying that I think hits home here. "The sign of an inferior designer is an overcomplicated design". Cheers from South Africa!
