.31 cal. Remington Pocket

[nightwolf1974]

Looking into buying a brass framed .31 cal. Remington Pocket revolver. Can someone who has one (or had one) suggest a modest load for round ball and wonder wads?

Hi,
I have had two brass framed .31 cal. Remingtons.
Their quality was terrible! Try and find the steel model, they are much better.
The brass models are very nice to look at, but that is all they have going for them.

The early ones on the market through CVA were made by Armi San Marco. Later ones are by Pietta though I don't know when that came about.

be pushing it to ram a ball down in mine with a wonder wad. I would use 4f and see how much you can load and still seat under rim of chamber. 3f 10 gr in mine and the ball is known to bounce off the ol pine tree on occasion.

That said mine is brass and has worked fine (10-12 gr aint gonna stretch a brass frame), one of my favorites. Nipple must be fabricated tho, aint gonna find a new one.

According to Track of the Wolf's web site their # PTC-PI (carbon steel) or PTC-PS (stainless steel) nipples should work for the Colt and the Remington Pocket pistols.

These nipples have a #12-28 UNF thread (M5.5-0.9 metric thread). The measurement over the outside of the nipple thread should be about .213 inches.

To find these nipples scroll about half way down the page in this link
