    Cap and Ball Revolvers vs Ballistic Gel

    An ice pick deftly and gently inserted about two inches into the first through fifth intercostal spaces just lateral to the left lateral side of the body of the sternum will render the victim severely impaired and most likely dead in a very short time. I have always been a little fascinated with...

    "Capandball" cartridge formers and replica cartridge boxes

    Two weeks ago I ordered a package deal of two cartridge formers from capandball of YouTube fame. He had a deal on a .36 cal and a .44 cal former for $38. Additionally I ordered one replica cartridge box for each caliber for $19. I placed the orders two days apart, and paid shipping of $12 on...

    Revolver chain fires

    WB wrote: "There is a lot of good information on video such as Duelist1954 to be sloppy or careless with a gun". My question: Are you saying that Duelist1954 is sloppy and careless? If so, I have to respectfully disagree. I find his body of work to be very informative, safe and well presented...

    Pietta Factory Tour

    Pietta said that the company started in 1963. He first said 50 years ago, and then said words to the affect that it was almost 60 years ago. So I would surmise that it is a fairly recent video.

    Cabela's and Bass Pro

    I was noticing today that Piettas at Cabelas now cost as much or more than Ubertis elsewhere. Many items Cabelas once sold have now been replaced by cheaper ones from the BPS inventory. Except for a few items, they both have lost me as a customer.

    Lubing revolver bullets?

    While this video is about luring combustible cartridges, the materials would apply to single conical I believe. The Eras Gone website is a good one for many of our needs.

    Plus, he has a wicked, surly look to him. Probably just as soon shoot you as to look at you. More likely than not....a conical man!

    Cap and Ball Revolver load

    Supposedly the closer the ball to the chamber aperture, by whatever means,i.e. Wads, semolina, Martha White Self Rising Flour ;-), whatever, the better the accuracy. Someone on this forum recently posted a picture of a guy with two C and B revolvers, and you could see that one was loaded, with...

    Combustible Envelope Cartridges

    Gun Tramp, it is obvious you are well on your way perfecting the technique for round ball cartridges. In re-reading you original post I see that you stated that loosely packed conical did not work for you. Understandable as that is, are you planning to progress to the conical paper cartridges...

    Revolver chain fires

    Yes, we should always have at least one active chain fire thread, but not because they are as funny as ever, but because they just might bring constant awareness of a problem and which just might save a limb, an eye, or a life.

    Revolver chain fires

    Watch the shooting portion of this short video. You will see at least three shots demonstrating fire in the cap area. It is very probable that I the origin of chain fires is there.

    32 cal kit

    CapPopper, this is the most sound advise anyone has given you on this topic. There is a lot of wisdom being expressed by Captjoel and you would be well advised to give his words some serious thought. Hope you get it worked out.

    Combustible Cartridges .36 Navy

    Google "Era's Gone Bullet Molds", and look at their method of lubing a combustible cartridge conical.

    My GPR Squirrel Load

    Absolutely correct! Two or three years ago a young Mennonite girl in Missouri was killed after being hit in the head by a projectile fired from a muzzleloader over one mile away. The shooter was unloading his gun after deer hunting and simply shot the rifle into the air.

    Paper a cartridge Templates

    From what my friend said, all he did was push a few buttons with the measurements desired, and presto....a whistle. I agree that using metal is easy, but this 3-D method would even allow for a post to press the template down onto the paper. Sounds as if I am designing this thing in my head as we...

    Paper a cartridge Templates

    I saw something the other day that I do not understand. A friend came over and said that the school in which he teaches has a new 3-D printer machine. So? I thought. Then he gave me a whistle made out of composite material. I asked what the connection was, and he stated that the machine made the...

    Thanks for that information. I will check that out, and hopefully that is what the problem was.

    Swaged roundball inconsistency ...

    About a year ago I bought an Uberti 1861 Navy to go with my Uberti 1851 navy, both .36 cal. When I went to the range the first time with the 1861, the balls rolled out of the muzzle, or were very poorly fitting. I posted a thread here and was admonished by one poster to not malign Hornady. I was...
