Just got a new to me Euroarms 36 New Navy, my first 36. Did a tad of research, and apparently bullets were pretty widely used in cap and ball revolvers during the Civil War (or War of Northern Aggression if ya'all hail from south of the Mason Dixon line). I have a few 44's and have tried the conical bullets with poor results, and given the punch the 44 140 gr ball has, I abandoned the effort. I would guess my poor results were more because of my poor technique rather than inherent issues with the conical projectile. Seems with the 36, though, a 130 bullet has a bunch more punch than the wimpy little 80 gr .375 ball, so here I go again. Was hoping for some sage advice from the forum for a head start on 36 cal bullet do and dont's.
Thanks.
