I'm thinking to change from Frontier Cartridge to Frontiersman and I really like the 1851.
I'll do my own gunsmithing on them (if I do change, that is) and found a lot of information over the years, but not really about the shield...
Can someone tell me something about it, how it is placed in...
I too shoot 45 Colt in my Rossi in Frontier Cartridge and it has a generous chamber. Had my sizerdie reamed out a little ( I can thumb seat the bullet ) and use only MagTech ( CBC ) brass. That really works for me. I use 18 grains of BP, filler and the JP 200 grain Big Lube bullet.
Am using it for years (couscous) also as filler in cartridges...
I found it was shooting more consistent as with wads...
Back then I made my own lube, 50/50 beeswax/lard for my muzzleloading revolver
I have a generous chamber in my '92, so I had my sizer die reamed out to .472 and use magtech brass with a 200 gr Big Lube bullet, even with 18 gr BP no blow by.
