Thanks gentlemen - I will order the correct nipples and get one of those gang buckshot molds - plenty of pure lead on hand.

Picked up an Uberti mouse gun ....ok they show .330 balls...well I shoot .310 in my squirrel rifle. Looks like only .319 is available reasonably. What are the rest of you fellas using for balls ?? Buckshot would be close to what I need but most buckshot is hardened these days. Any ideas ?? Also...

Gentlemen - thank you for your advice - I definitely think that I will explore both options presented. I'll take a look at the pistol on gunbrokers - heck can a fella have too many pistols ?? - also I think the Optima pistol needs an # 11 or musket cap nipple so my options are open with regard...

Wow - Impressive. Such craftsmanship. You are a lucky man indeed !!

OK - I have an Optima pistol - accurate and powerful. In order to hunt in certain areas I need to convert this from 209 ignition to # 11 ignition. When I went to CVA they directed me to Deer Park Products. I contacted them ( great ole boys) they said they had no conversion kit i.e. replacement...

Always been a pyrodex select man for my inlines and traditionals - just tried 777 and I really like it. My range sessions are long and I found clean-up alot easier.

Thank you I appreciate your kind assistance gentlemen - I will obtain this data and see to it ole Al gets it. I have fired the 460 myself and I must say it is a snappy round indeed !! Mucho muzzle blast from that compensator though !!! thanks again, Gary

Gentlemen - my best friend and shooting buddy is a wheelchair bound disabled army vet. I go with him to the outdoor range and set his targets etc for him as the terrain is not accesible via his wheelchair. He's a good shooter and we have alot of fun .... Here's the problem he just got a 460...

Thanks gentlemen - as always you come through - I'll experiment and explore as suggested on the navy - she is a sweet one !!. On the deerhunter 54 I myself noted the thin stock so I won't push her too hard. I was out at the range today with my 1847 Walker - pretty good accuracy with 40 grains...

1 -As I slowly progress towards the traditional side .... I picked up a traditions deerhunter kit in 54 ( call it a practice build ) I'll be using lee real 54 conicals - any of you gentlemen have any load suggestions for me ? As a lefty (right hand disabled) I'm hoping this will work out -...

You are gonna love that ol horse pistol - I'm staying with 30-40 grains and homemade balls - shes a shooter. LOL bring plenty of powder and balls - you will use them :D

Thank you for all the good advice gentlemen - this one has a steel frame. I have not yet experimented with the cornmeal filler I simply put in the powder, wad & then ball - works great in my Walker. But i'll definitely try it on this Navy as I like the feel and especially the trigger ( you get...

Well an 1847 Walker got me into cap n ball and you gentlemen gave alot of good advice on how to handle her - thanks again for that !! Happened upon a 1851 Navy in 44 cal ( Traditions) and had to have her. She feels right and action smooth and tight. Great trigger !! My questions is this ...

Mounting scopes on two different rifles - two different scopes. When it came time to fine tune the crosshairs on the boresite dot things got strange.. both scopes were clearly marked as to up & down, left and right etc. however as I was making the necessary adjustments everything was reversed -...

I've had bad experiences with the "tube" type anti-seize compounds (looks like a chapstick container) that are sold in the chain stores for blackpowder arms. go to any auto parts store and pick some up - life time supply - works ALOT better. The tube type by the major mfgs out there hardens up...

Thanks Hellgate , My shooting buddy is a wheelchair bound Army Vet who is a budding gunsmith - I have him handle that for me. Ole boy bought a Walker Dragoon and when I saw it .... well that afternoon I went and got an 1847. We had two Walkers going strong at the outdoor range and had a blast...

Thanks for all the good advice. I will hunt down one of those Ted Cash cappers and get the loads straightened out. Had no problems with cylinder binding and it was accurate - had to hold low but took the middle right out of the target. I'm careful to make sure no petro chemicals are in the...

Fell in love with a Walker (Uberti) 1847 - took her to the range & loaded her up - she shot fine but I'm new to this cap and ball thing so I wonder if some of you old pros out there have any suggestions for me on the following : ! - who sells a decent capper - the capper i bought at a chain...
