    Current reasonable price for ROA.

    I have been buying ROA revolvers for the past 6 years. I was at the Kingman, Az gun show last weekend and bought my 10th ROA. It is new unfired 7.5" Blue Non-Adj. sights. It came with a new unfired Howell .45 Colt Conv. Cylinder. I paid $675 for the set. The Non-Adj. Mdles are more expensive...

    Whats your favorite Tobacco?

    I prefer the "Capt. Black." ROYAL. A good quality pipe insures a better smoke. :wink:

    Patching material

    I have shot at the Texas State ML match a number of times. The "Texas Patch", which is sail cloth coated on one side with Blue Teflon. The patch is lubed on the ball side with a small amount of water. These patches are very remarkable for improved accuracy. You must wipe the bore each time...

    The last time I was at Friedship was 1963. I expect things are very different. :grin:

    Is A 28 ga Enough?

    The big difference is? That little "Pop Up" device on the Butter ball is missing from the wild birds. I think. :confused:

    Grits

    The best grits ever come from "Bird Mills in Virginia" Google them. Grits have been a staple in Mexico for centuries. Eating instant grits is a sin. :td:

    Casting big bullets

    How does a bottom pour pot cool faster than dipping lead and then pouring? :confused: It sounds like you have a cold mold. The lead is flowing until it contacts the mold block. If the block is of a lower temp you get wrinkles. :wink:

    Molasses against rust

    Humm Naval Jelly is a rust remover. Most commercial rust removers are penetrating petro based compounds. I can't imagine covering a ships hull with Black Strap non-sulfur molasses. :idunno:

    Most accurate flintlock rifle caliber?

    During the American Revolution many "Brits" fell to the flint lock rifle. Tim Murphy and others were deadly at ranges beyond 300 yards. :)

    Casting big bullets

    Heat control alloy and flux determine the fill in a mold. Alloy flow and fill depends on tin. A lead bullet made of a 20-1 lead to tin gives a good fill. A 4 grs. difference on a 460 grs. bullet gives a better fill? :confused:

    Conicals in an Uberti

    You have some cast bullets for the .44-40 cartridge. These will not work properly in your Uberti.

    Patch or Wad

    Hi there Deadeye. :) I have much better luck using a split Circle Fly OP wad. I use half over the powder and half over the ball.

    Casting big bullets

    I have never seen any data regarding a ladle poured bullet was better than a bottom pour pot. The type of alloy that is being poured is more important. :)

    CO2 Unloader

    They also work great for "Fire Lapping" the bore of a muzzle loader. No powder fowling to impair the the lapping compound. :)

    Hatfield .45 caliber rifle

    Make sure the barrel and chamber are dry of cleaners and oil before loading. I suspect you had something wet in the powder chamber. I think these rifles have patent breechs. You must clean those with a very small patch wrapped around a .22 cal bore brush. A load of 45 grs. should be a good...

    New Flintlock Will Not Shoot Round Balls

    With your patched round ball you are blowing patch lube thru the vent. You did not say what you are using for patch lube and how much.

    Antique Jaeger rifle

    It appears to have a single set trigger. It would be a rifle not a smooth gun.

    1858 New Army revolver - legit combat arm?

    Do not damage your nipples. They should keep a sharp edge to give positive firing condition. The mashed nipple does not provide the even stream of fire do to reduced ID. Mashing the nipples on purpose is not a very smart cure. :td:
