Ultimate Cap and Ball Revolver

Nice, very nice. I would not call it the ultimate but still a treasure. I want a Remington rider. I am over bigger is better.

I soooo wish Ruger would re-introduce the Old Army. I like the Remingtons in both calibers, the .36 for its economy and the .44 for power. I also wondered about mounting a .429 groove barrel and reaming the chambers on a .36 cal cylinder to get properly dimensioned chambers for correct chamber/bore relationship to shoot my favorite boolits.

Imagine what that Clements .50 could do with a 250gr soft lead HP and a snoot full of 777. I expect it would be nicely manageable and amply authoritative.

Ruger Old Army shoots very nicely with a 200 grain .452 conical. I had a box full of semi wad cutters for my 1911 that wouldn't feed. I did a neat thing of knurling the bullets between a couple of double cut files to make the fit the chambers. Accuracy is excellent. My best shot was dropping a jackrabbit at around 70 yards.
