...suggestion comes up with the loading of cap and ball revolvers.
First time I ever heard of such a thing, I walked into a gun shop run by an old gunny that had a modest selection of antique firearms and accoutrements. He said he loaded each chamber with a patched round ball, I bought some dried out wads and left to go shooting the right way.
Every once in a while it comes up again, even here, on an adjoining thread, that Pietta recommends patching the ball on a sixgun.
I don't think for a moment Mr. Pietta would condone such as we've conversed before and he seemed well versed on all manner of sixguns.
What say you?
