Greetings all from south central PA! I've been reading here for a while but finally got my first BP revolver, a Pietta 1851 in .44. I know it's a historically inaccurate model/caliber combo but it was a good way to start after looking for some 1858 NMAs for a while. I still want to pick up an 1858 NMA and at least I'll be on one caliber for a bit. I can tell I'll be slowly growing a collection so I'll probably end up w/ .36 before long. I've already ordered some felt from DuroFelt and am trying to track down some mutton/lamb tallow to make lube and am looking forward to making some wads and jumping in!

Greetings from South Western PA.
 
Hello from S.E. Michigan. Came here from York, PA. When I started shooting revolvers I had an antique Colt 1860 with replaced cylinder. Used to plink at a large rock about 100 yds away.

Now, were I still shooting, I would get me a good repro of a .44 Colt, and not a Remington. That solid frame is nice for modern unmentionables but does nothing good in a percussion revolver. Colts were designed to USE in battle. Ref. Walker. Remingtons were designed to SELL.
