    https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1002299098?pid=377590 I just like the original length of a given gun, plus balance and velocity.

    First Cap and Ball Revolver Recommendations

    Remington comes in .36, I would start with the 7 1/2" 51 Navy (Uberti)

    Are Pedersoli revolvers worth the higher prices? Anybody have one?

    Again I was attempting to bullet point what I was posting. In part the key words would be properly fitted, as next to no mass production repro Colt's are hand fitted the average person will be plagued with wedge related problems even though it is not the root cause (wedge that is), I know a...

    SOLD .32 cal. Tuned, match ready caplock pistol

    Surprised it has not sold, the Crockett .32 pistol and rifle are made in Spain by Ardesa and to my knowledge never by Pietta for resale/branding, proof marks and barrel origin marks are from Spain, the barrels are known to be very good and accurate in all the muzzle loaded guns. Hard to find...

    Are Pedersoli revolvers worth the higher prices? Anybody have one?

    Only trying to give the simplest answer or statement without getting into arbor, arbor length between Uberti , Pietta and original, was trying to point out that the 58 type was chosen because it does not have that issue and is the most chosen type for competition shooting, a wedge can shake...

    Are Pedersoli revolvers worth the higher prices? Anybody have one?

    They are made by Pedersoli, they make a blued and stainless one, both are patterned on the 1858 as it has the top strap, barrel is in fixed position (no wedge to change barrel fit) , they have produced this revolver for many years. Dixie GW still has Pietta's that were produced for target...

    Getting 'Bess Ready for Turkey Season

    Many donut holes in a pattern are caused by other things than a card ahead of the shot. I wish you well in your search for a good turkey load. Test at the distance you intend to shoot. Best Regards.

    Getting 'Bess Ready for Turkey Season

    Britsmoothy, Not going to keep going on this but if you read what I posted above, see below, "Ballistics are ballistics, there is a very brief moment just outside of the barrel were the velocity of the gasses produced to drive the load are as great as the velocity of the projectile, but after...

    Getting 'Bess Ready for Turkey Season

    Not a new guy at all, my tests were all black powder. Pictures were used to show set back and is more visible with a plastic shot cup, one is a wad and card load. I spent many years instructing firearms and explosives. Smokeless has many rates of burn and often is not consumed in the barrel...

    Getting 'Bess Ready for Turkey Season

    The point/ question I was trying to raise in the post above, I have never known an object increasing in speed after it has left the gun. The gas being created has to happen at an accelerated rate , X cubic inches per second for a total of X bore volume plus in order to drive the object out of...
