I'm thinking about getting a kirst conversion kit with the ejector rod/loading gate for a pietta 1858. I dont do CAS however I do enjoy shooting paper cartridges out of it as is. I just dont like worrying about immediate cleaning afterwards, after a long day of shooting I'm beat and tired but I do love it.
Anyone here installed it?
Was it difficult to fit?
How well does it perform?
What is the pressure limit for what is considered a 'cowboy load'?
[Will it take a 255 keith or similar loaded between 850-1000fps like on PG.453 in the Lyman 50 manuals published loads?]
Will I still be able to run my bp cylinder afterwards?
[Currently load the Johnston and dow bullet from eras gone (217grn conical) over 40grains of 777]
Are you pleased with the resulting gun from this conversion kit or is there a better product for this application?
Cheers.
