Afternoon all- was just given a great freebie by a mate of mine a Pietta 1858 Remington that has seen very little use and is excellent condition (this will be the big brother to my Uberti .36 cal 6inch 1858 ).Did a search on year of manufacture codes for italian guns- this one is BN so manufactured 1995.I think it takes .454 RB but was wondering if the .457 balls I have left over from when i had a Ruger OA could be used as they are pure soft lead.Any other info tips would be appreciated--cheers zodd
