Does anyone know of grips for the remington 1858 copies that more closely resembles modern grips? This may sound awful to some of you dedicated blackpowder shooters out there but it seems like some rubber grips would make shooting bp more fun.
Suggestions?
I think mentioning that you have shooting as a hobby makes it seem less threatening...
probably help people warm up to it easier than just saying "oh yeah I have a gun in my pants by the way"
gads custom catridges has 10 gauge BP loads...
If you're concerned about the damascus steel I wouldn't even go with the RST shells, they're smokeless. Granted they're low pressure, but the black powder will probably be lower..
He says that only a few "executives" in LA county got CCW permits... And he seems perfectly comfortable that they are given more right to protect their rights than the average citizen.
if its inspected and OK'd by a gunsmith, then you should use either blackpowder shells or low pressure smokeless shells made by polywad or rst:

I would also say that its a scale, starting off with airsoft and bb guns, moving to pellet guns, and finally going to shoot with .22 rimfires and so on is a good way to teach respect and handling of firearms over time.
You may consider getting a damascus barreled cartridge shotgun and shooting brass shells loaded with blackpowder out of them. I would stay below 2.5 drams of BP to be safe though.
I've ordered 300 percussion caps at a time from dixie with no problems..
when you get your NAA you'll probably want to be using remington percussion caps 'cause they're thinner and allow the tiny cylinder to actually rotate
A heart shot? Really? If you are being attacked, I doubt you will be able to judge (much less actually place a bullet) where someone's heart is.
Blackpowder guns are no different than any other guns, no more or less effective.
A 200 grain slug coming out of a '58 at 900 fps is the same as a 200...
kerosene=energy
you can do many things with energy, such as taking the average kinetic energy of a substance and lowering it by moving it to the surrounding areas.
20's and 410's are good for young shooters, as well as being more maneuverable because of their lighter weight.
Difference between bird shot and buckshot is simply size, for example, #6 birdshot is .110", and 00 buckshot is .330"
you would have a real challenge for yourself trying to set off real black powder (75% potassium nitrate, 15% charcoal, 10% sulfur) with a hammer.
try it, you'll see what I mean.
On the other hand, I don't know if smokeless is percussion sensitive.
its probably price prohibitive to have it become a popular enough thing that it puts undue stress on populations... that being said, I dont see a lot of reason behind anyone shooting an animal via a computer
I know someone who shot a deer from a 3" 357 at 40 yards and dropped the thing like a rock, so with 6" of barrel you should be good out to quite a ways as long as you keep in practice
