Did you ream your chambers up over 0.460”? I’m curious why you designed your bullet to drop so large.
I have a lot of work to do finding an accurate hunting load for my .50 cal Lyman Deerstalker, which I think I would enjoy more. Until then I’m...
Funny as that’s what I thought were Schuetzen to reopen Goex. With their name on it per se they may well make a higher quality Goex and improve...
Sure it is, and there are examples of modified percussion revolvers so you’re just skipping the gunsmith if process. I’m not one to care too much...
Ultimately I’d like to get an inexpensive chronograph and test 2 and 3F Olde E and T7, along with Swiss adding in 4F as well. I might even try...
You might want to compare it with Olde Eynsford made by Goex to compete with Swiss. They’ve done quite well, though many seem to feel Swiss edges...
So you find your charges lose a little oomph over time? I’m curious what kind of time frames your talking about and how much loss you’re seeing....
I only doubted because the few others who have posted their results using similar loads and powders report much lower velocities, so I wasn’t sure...
I’d be surprised if you can get it going fast enough for those numbers, they look more like the upper limits of what I’ve seen claimed in Rugers...
I like it! I am not fond of the idea of either removing it or loading with a brass punch (I use bullets mostly). I think they should have a lever,...
My NMA was loaded for around 72 months loaded with the dreaded and inferior Triple 7, and yet all chambers went off with the authority I recalled....
Were I in the OPs position, but with my NMA, I’d probably carry it while I was figuring out how to make my 1911 reliable or look into trading it...
You could use 3F and reduce the charge by about 10% to achieve the same velocity but foul less and get maybe a couple of extra shots.
Oh, I agree that a black powder gun makes an extremely poor SD choice. Smoke, single action, and percussion. Oh, my father was a career military...
