    Pietta or Uberti 1858 Remington

    Pietta and Uberti are the major BP reproduction players, some hate Pietta because of markings are visible. I have had Both I careless if caliber and black powder only and Pietta on side. Thus being said hits and misses are abound by both. To sum it up I have gotten Pietta out of the box Perfect...

    SOLD Jukar Spain 45 Cal. Pistol

    Colonial? I think. is the model or very similar if memory serves well .440?

    My balls are wrinkly ;)

    Wrinkly balls heat is off, either lead or mold is to cold, Now still a nice job on them, my first batch was the same wrinkly .451s still hit target well enough. If ya ran em in a Whipped Cream, prior to shooting that whipped cream does stick in the grooves with the ball as it hits a target.

    Triple 7 3f

    T-7 like pyrodex is less dense than BP If memory serves a T7 50 grain charges weighs round 25-30 grains for a 32 I am guessing 10-13 grains would help your accuracy. also there is more of a push with the substitutes than BP, might also add to being 2-3 inches high/low

    Black powder or Pyrodex

    Depends on your poison, for Flintlocks bad choice, Cap Locks and In Lines do just fine, also it is easier for me to obtain (pyrodex) actual Black Powder not so much unless I want to spend all day on the hunt of just powder, I`d rather be shooting
