Call them I had a problem with my 1858 the cylinder holes were machined to large. The sent me a new cylinder I got like 2 days later.

update, Got replacement cylinder from Cabelas today took a conical bullet and it fit snug just like on my blue model. I can't believe how much the orginal cylinder was off. They over machined it to death. I will take measurements of both and post them.

I haven't bought any factory BP, I guess I can go out and buy a pound so I can do side by side comparisons until I get my home made stuff down pat. I thought the home made BP would be abit more powerful than commerical fffg.

I am new to this but hooked. I bought a 1858 stainless Remmy last week and ordered a blue one this week. I also bought a ball mill, salt peter, sulfar, and hardwood charcoal. I made my first batch of BP and fell in love with the process. I am also casting my own bullets. .454 round ball and...
