    Who sells that CO2 deloader?

    Can't seem to find them online, but I know they exist. I'm talking about the deloading tool that uses a pellet gun style CO2 cylinder to blow out a stuck load in your barrel. Anyone know?

    Replacing nipples?

    I have a Uberti 1858 Remington revolving carbine. I get a lot of stinging on my face when shooting it since I have to put my face close to the breech. My more experienced friends say that the Italian guns are designed for Italian caps, and our American caps fit loosely on them which causes...

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    Finally got this from MidwayUSA. Shooting it was a unique experience for me, given I'm a beginner with smoke poles. Seems very well built, rugged and good looking to boot. Using the Uberti recommended loads of 30 gr. 3F with RB and 25 gr. with conicals, I was getting 4" groups at 50 yd with...

    School me on lead

    Somewhat new to BP loading, I understand that pure soft lead is what you use, mainly for ramming home the ball and engraving the rifling. However, would it be OK to use wheel weights (since I have a few hundred pounds) in a cap & ball brass frame 1860 Army revolver, or is that a BIG NO-NO?

    Stuck in Lodi again

    I've been shooting smokeless guns for 55+ years but my experience with BP is limited. The only BP gun I own is a brass frame 1860 Army revolver. I got invited to a rendezvous and had a good time. I'm a bullseye pistol competitor and earned my Distinguished Pistol Shot badge from the CMP a...
