Muzzle loading Forum.
I’m new to this forum and my basic interest is in percussion revolvers. It’s a very fine forum and I wish I had discovered it 20 years ago.
Are percussion revolvers considered “muzzle loaders”. I suppose not in the strictest sense as they aren’t loaded from the “muzzle”.
Even the hand gun section depicts a single shot, I do have two of those though rarely shoot them.
Ive owned five long guns, A Cherokee in 45 caliber and two of the “ in line” more modern styles a Black Diamond and a Remington model 700. The Cherokee was sold and the two in lines given to my youngest son. I have and shoot frequently a Remington Revolving Carbine and a Burnside Carbine circa 1864. Neither muzzle loaders. I also have a Remington 1894 12 gage S/S with Damascus barrels that I load and shoot paper black powder shells in. Im also a black powder “purist” shooting between 12 and 15 pounds of black a year. Mostly 3F in the revolvers 2F in the breech loader and shot gun.
Any way since from around 1980 I’ve managed to acquire a collection of 25 or so black powder guns , none of them currently muzzle loaders so to speak or are they.
