On PROPER USE OF A CAP AND BALL PISTOL,SO YOU WANT A CAP AND BALL REVOLVER, and PROPER FELT WADS?? I cant find them anywhere.....Steve.

Man I went round and round with a gal at the counter telling her to ship some jacketed bullets. It said in big letters INERT right on the box. "Oh no Sir, we cant do that" I kept trying to tell her it was not loaded ammo and it was just the bullets. "Oh no Sir, we cant do that":mad: I finally...

I dont think the toilet bowl rings have been made of pure beeswax for a long while now.

I live about 40 miles East of Friendship in Jennings Co. Have been going to the spring and fall shoots for years but just recently have had a desire to get into the shooting aspect of it. I mainly have just went over there for the flea markets and such. I know during the shoots they have a lot...

John, is that with a wad or without?

About how many grains will the 1860 hold?

Cast Boolit Forum/ Cast Bullet Association I looked through the posts and didn't see anyone even mention http://castboolits.gunloads.com/ forum. It is THE place for everything cast bullets. TONS of info to be had over there. Or you can also become a member of the Cast Bullet Association. I just...

I'm a newbie when it comes to cap and ball pistols but from all I've read I'm using a wad. Plus I found the mother load of Frost King wool felt weatherstripping at the local Big Lots. A buck a pack for a 17FT roll. I bought all 20 packs they had. Slap cleaned em out for sure:eek: . I figured it...

I have tried 10' and 11's on my Pietta 1860 and the 10's seem to fit mine better. Also I shot it for the first time today, how do you keep from getting the caps stuck in the action. This happened with both 10 and 11's but moreso with 11's. Sometimes they would fall inside the action beside the...

I have a 97 that was made in 06 or 07, depending on what site I check the serial numbers. The blueing is in great shape and I dont think it was standard field grade because of the fancy checkering(that is almost worn off). Since the stock checkering is so shallow I wonder if the blueing is...

I just got this Pietta 1860 and the wedge wont budge a bit. Also I can move the cylinder to the right and left just a little. Should this be locked up tight or is it nothing to worry about? Thanks in advance.....Steve.

Anyone?

Sounds like this is a job for the Myth Busters!:)

Shawnee, I have an Pietta 1860(which I'm waiting on Santa Claus in the brown suit to deliver anytime now:) ) I got the brown western style open top holster And the brown leather belt

YankeeJohn, can you explain how to go about wet moulding the holster? Just soak it in water and stick the pistol in and let dry or what? Thanks in advance....Steve. EDIT: I also got my belt and holster from Cabelas and it seems like nice leather for the price.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that. Tommygun is right. It is just a mirror image of the original one. I use both paint shop pro and Adobe photoshop but man that photo shop has a much stepper learning curve. For the most part I use Paint Shop Pro for most of my...

While I'm biding my time waiting on that 1860 to arrive ,I've been piddlin with other things. If I'm not shooting guns I'm doing some sort of graphic design or photos with them. Since I dont have the real thing yet this is digital....Steve.:)

I for one also think Tarantinos work is excellent myself. Harvey rocks and Steve played a good part as well.Another one of the greats and I HOPE gets an oscar for his new movie the Departed is scorcesee(sp?). I like casino, good fellas, the list goes on Pacino, Deniro. He has yet to win any and...
