Well, I'd like to know if anyone had info or could link to info regarding the safety of using a cap and ball revolver inside a home for self defense and the possibilities of over penetration into other homes, etc. I know cartridge smokeless round balls are known for over penetration and can travel far beyond your intended target.
This is not a question of the round ball's effectiveness as a tool against bad guys, just keeping the innocent safe.
If round balls are bad, and hollow points are better for this application, are there methods of DIY hollow points for cap and ball revolvers?
I'm using a Ruger Old Army. .457
Thank you.
