Webley Six

Nice choice it's a smart looking rifle. Have a Pedersoli sporter which we have had some good results with, I bought it for myself originally about 15 years ago now my wife is shooting with it. It's in 45-2.4" (45-90) and had been using the Lyman 525gr 457125 bullet cast at 20:1 lead-tin mix...

What rifle are you using?

Lyman make a nice looking bullet for the .44 S&W Russian #429383. As far as I am aware, you really need the bullet sizing (or dropping from the mould)to the size of the chamber mouths rather than the barrel groove dia. so .429 or .430 will be perfect. I shoot a .45 Colt Uberti Schofield but...

I'd also say stay away from factory .45ACP in the old gal as it's way too powerful for them...see attached image...no, it's not mine. I use Hornady .455 brass and the RCBS .455 265gr HB mould, works a treat.

Had a Euroarms...now got a Feinwerkbau. Is the new one worth the extra cash.....er no, still can shoot as badly with it as I did the Euroarms pistol. :eek::eek:

1875 Ballard

I just got one and yes...that double action trigger pull is very heavy indeed.

Have a USP9 and a P220. I like both, but prefer the way the SIG feels in my hand.

That's a pretty looking long gun for sure.

I though black powder itself isn't actually corrosive. Sure the residue will attract water but wasn't it the primers of the day that caused all the trouble?

Black Powder.

+1 on that sentiment!
