I passed on the pistol, I think I will save my coin for a Ruger New Vaquero. :Fire:

Thanks for the info and replies, owner is telling me it's a .31 caliber colt clone. I'm not really in the market for another cap and ball. 10 minutes of shooting and an hour of cleaning for the two...

A guy I know has this FIE Italian repro 32 caliber colt army for sale, he wants $250. I have a few cap and balls, they are fun. Is this a good/decent price? Comes with case and holster, I think...

I just molded up some RCBS 452-200 SWC that I am going to try over some 231, guessing somwhere between 6-7 grains will be the ticket. Would like to have a little less soot

Thats the same results I got with WIN 231, 6 grains and it chronoed around 550-570 fps and seemed fairly accurate. Alot of soot on the cases, I will bump up another .5 gr and see how things go.

I have two uberti 1858 Remington clones and use them with cap and ball, there is just something about that blackpowder cloud when firing double fisted��. I am really looking forward to these 1873...

My ubertis are 5.5" and 7.5" and I am in the same boat as you guys, I don't shoot SASS but would like to have a mild load that is fun and as accurate as I am (which isnt that great). I will play...

Thanks fellas! I will try out some of the ideas you gave me when the new guns arrive. I wanted to stay within the powders I had on hand due to the problematic nature of this economy. I have 4 lbs...

Thanks for the read. Problem is I do not have any of the afore mentioned powders. I do have a bunch of 2400/4350/3031/231/lil gun/WSF/WST/HS6/748/AA Superfield/BLC-2/4831. I will be working up a...

I have a couple of new to me Uberti Cattlemen that I want to work up some cowboy loads for. If I just use the start grains in the books, is that considered "cowboy" loads?

While waiting for the new die, I stamped out a bunch using a thin aluminum pie plate and it punched perfectly. I imagine that those caps will explode and end up in the cylinder mechanism causing a...

I just received an email back from 22lrreloader today and he is sending a new die out in the mail, seems like good customer service. I will give the new one a try as well as different metals to see...

Received my #11 cap maker from 22lrreloader about 2 weeks ago and have been busy destroying tin cans since then. My experience with this product is mixed, I achieve about a 40% success ratio when it...

I pinched the caps and it did help a bit, but 3 caps would fly off the gun everytime I shot it. I was crawling around the gravel driveway trying to find those suckers LOL. Just going to order the...

I don't think the wing percussion caps will fit the 1858 New Army cylinder cut outs. At any rate, I'm also looking pretty hard at making my own caps, apparently guys are having some success with...

Ok thanks for the info, I guess the 45 LC conversion cylinders are looking more economical everyday. I sure hope they start making percussion caps available again, but with the new inline...

Is anyone seeing percussion caps for blackpowder showing up in any stores lately? (2/28/22) I am in somewhat of a dilemma, my 2 Uberti 1858 New Army pistols have small nipples and I only have a few...

The prices of leather at Tandy's almost make it cheaper to buy one already made.

I am able to buy some holsters with a belt loop for my twin 1858 New Army Remingtons 8" barrel, but I can't find a nice wide belt with a cap and ball bag and I was thinking about making one for...

I didnt realize there were different kind of ladles for dipping until I got my copy of the Lyman Cast Bullets book and on the cover is a pour style ladle. I've always used an old cast iron ladle...

I have tried everything with that pot, she is just worn out. I will keep it for using as parts or maybe as a dipper

Little tongue in cheek on the post title, just wondering how many of you dip out of a lead pot VS bottom pour? My Lee 4 #20 is just dripping way to much to use and I was thinking about turning it in...

I had my son 3d print a cartridge former and I have been playing with that, but for the first time out shooting these pistols, I think I will just pour the powder in and use a damp felt wad then...

Did that work?

^^ Sounds like you're giving me a hard time....:kidding: LOL

I bet the guys using the old style cap and ball pistols thought the Colt M1873 was from a different century with the ease of a self...
