A fellow on a forum was interested in my custom bullet designs and offered to do the work in exchange for some bullets. I’ve read of, and been...
Honestly I wanted the Uberti version, but Christmas of 2013 and the $199 deal with a free starter kit found me with the Pietta instead. Mine...
That is very good to know as I know he charges extremely reasonable fees and all are quite happy with his work.
There’s a poster here who has a carbine made from a Colt Walker. Sure would be cool to have one made from a ROA and I’m sure it would be a lot...
I’ve also liked this idea, but ultimately you’d need a .47 caliber barrel for this and I’m sure it would be rather costly. Does anyone even make...
A 1:48” twist should stabilize a typical 255 grn .45 cal bullet. There are calculators to figure out if a bullet length will work. I’d start...
In your picture showing the various .45 caliber bullets the Schofield’s bullet is barely sticking out of the case. Is this the typical 230 grn...
If I’m not mistaken Kaido would cast his revolver bullets to 10-12 BHN and those seem to work just fine in repros (I’ve only used them in my ROA).
I thought that at first when I read it, but after he explained it was a term used to look down on non purists I fully understand and agree for the...
A black bear I’d jump at the chance to hunt and feel my .50 cal rifle is more than plenty, and created a heavy bullet for my ROA in case I had to...
Inland grizzlies do this with modern stuff too. One critter I have 0 interest in ever hunting! If they realize where it came from you’re in deep...
I’m wondering if the huge lube grooves are necessary when shooting the dirtier powders. I shoot 3F Olde Eynsford and the bullets I created have...
Again, just a wealth of information.
Hmmm... Always thought they were called a Pocket model as well, same as the Pocket Navy 1/2 brother.
If you ever find yourself without the time to properly clean you can run an oily patch. The oil will absorb into the fouling keeping the moisture...
I vote arcticap for president 2024. Who else is as full of information and links helping people?
My 2013 Pietta NMA needed the port fixed for conicals.
Well, to be honest you haven’t broken beyond the “max brass frame loads” to see the failures people speak of, no? My cap n ball guns aren’t...
Hmmm... Though I love a Walker I’m thinking this went a bit too far down a different game trail for me.
Yeah, don’t know if a GP type bullet exists for a .58, but figured it a cheap try if there was. Accurate will make you most anything your heart...
