    Snake Shot

    Have for years used a snakeshot load as the first chamber to fire in my woods walkin' gun. In .44 caliber a good load is about 22-25 grains of fffg, compact this down with the rammer or a dowel if the rammer won't reach. Punch an over powder card from scrap cardboard and ram it down firm. Fill...

    Grease and how much

    Dab of Crisco or other grease on the arbor pin will keep it from locking up as fast from fouling. On the internals, use a VERY light coat of a good quality gun lubricant, like Remoil. Too much lube in a black powder revolver will help the piece to accumulate fouling. Some folks like dry lubes...

    New Pietta Remington 1858

    Is it a brass framed or steel framed revolver? Either way, when I hit the range and can't clean my guns right away. Remove the cylinder and take it to the nearest restroom. Have with you a 45 cal brush, mop and short cleaning rod.. Run it under hot water and scrub the cylinders good then dry...

    Conical For My KY Pistol

    Yes it is a strongly built pistol. It is basically a Kentucky rifle shortened to pistol size and then sold as a sidearm by the manufacturer. All the lockwork is the same size, barrel is of rifle thickness as is the breech. I hear the stocks on these will crack with stupidly heavy loads but the...

    Kentucky Kit Pistol Trigger Issues

    I love my KY kit pistol from Cabelas. Put a lot of work into the finish of the piece and the holster(I work two jobs, one is in a custom leather shop.) I get compliments on it all the time, shoots well enough. The only thing is the trigger..it rattles around freely until fully cocked, then only...

    Appreciate the advice, if they're locked up bad it sounds like this should work.

    Yeah, I'm sure they aren't beyond some use, even if its for parts. I had a ball cleaning up the Baby Dragoon and the years of neglect have actually given it character, with a patina not unlike an original.

    FIE Baby Dragoon For Free!

    Don't worry about that, he's gonna give them to me. I'm told they are rusted up tight, cylinders locked up and all that. This Baby Dragoon was in the best condition of them all he says but I'll bet I can make 'em run. We shall see, my friends not even sure what kind they are, besides being cap n...

    FIE Baby Dragoon For Free!

    I don't know why it shoots so well, but it surprised the heck out of me. I figured my group would look like a shotgun pattern. I was counting my holes on the target after firing one group and there was was one missing. I looked all over for a flyer then looked closer....I put two little .315...

    FIE Baby Dragoon For Free!

    Hey folks. A good buddy of mine was cleaning out the old family home and came across several black powder pistols that belonged to his father. According to him, they were rusted up beyond repair and he chucked them in a box to be thrown away. He told me about them and said I could have them but...

    Conical For My KY Pistol

    I know full well the capabilities of the round ball and pistols in general for hunting, hence the username. One of the cleanest kills I've ever made on a whitetail was with a 12" barreled, brass frame 1858 Buffalo loaded with 30 grains of Pyrodex P and a .454 round ball. Heart shot, in one side...

    Yup, I've watched a ton of Mr. Bellevue's videos, including the ones you're talking about. The Kaido bullets seem pretty handy. What did you pay for a mold?
