Loyalist Dave... You are correct. After tearing the paper cartridge powder would be poured in the pan before the rest being dumped down the barrel. My apologies for putting less than accurate info out there... it is never my intention. That’s what I get for posting before the first cup of...

sigwally... Welcome to the forum...! There are no dumb questions in regard to safety and curiosity. My answer to your question is “Tradition”. In the old military drill of loading muzzle-loading arms, priming was always done last as a way to keep things safe until the time to fire. Loading...

lee n. field... Thanks for relaying the info... just might have to look into that. Versatilty is a good thing... especially nowadays.

gtrgy888... The test that resulted in a flattened ball... did that hit a knot or something...?? To bounce straight back and be flat... that is some mean pine boards. ;-)

Buckeye63... That’s the one... although I had decided on the stainless finish. Thanks alot...!

mongoslow... Congratulations on your aquisition...!! My apologies for rambling on about myself and disregarding the reason for your post.

This thread perpetuates my personal torment in revolver cartridges. I got the .45 Colt Charter instead of the .45 acp flavor Charter. I was determined to get the acp, thinking of ammo availability and price. All was well and decided until I started second-guessing myself. The little voice in...

There is a gun range here in OK that holds an annual Ladies Shoot. Several stations with different firearms that the participants rotate through every 45 minutes. NRA certified instructors, firearms and ammo supplied, lunch provided... covered by the very reasonable entry fee. It’s a day long...

Where there is a will, there is a way. Your old powder should still be good, provided it’s been stored properly. Don’t mean to sound critical, but I assume what is in the old can is what it says on the label. Had to say it... sometimes people re-purpose containers for other things. So that...

ThomasT... I have had no problems with my fairly-recent made Piettas in both those models you mention. Only issue was getting the wedge out for the very first time in the Army model. Patience and a rubber mallet served well. If you are having a blast with your NMA, I think you will dig those...

Enfielder... That is hilarious...!! I walked past those same empty shelves here, yesterday. Not a box of “shells” to be seen. Somebody has a great sense of humor... Was it YOU...???

KevininPa... Thanks for your suggestions... I have considered the folding holster grip. Would like to see one in person sometime and try it out. Always had a fondness for things that fold up and/or clip on.

That sure puts the PRESENTATION into presentation box...!! Most impressive... your interior decorating skills are first-rate. Thanks for posting those... made my day.

Blkpdrkid... Welcome to the forum...! Did you purchase grips compatable to Uberti...? Parts are not always interchangeable between manufacturers. I have a ‘58 Remington clone made by God knows who that I inherted from my Father in Law. The markings on it are all but illegible. The grips on...

Chicharrones... You have inadvertantly helped me resolve a dilemma that has toyed with me for a couple years now. Should I purchase a NAA Guardian...?? I really like the quality of their mini-revolvers and have assumed their auto would be no different. But, seeing how yours drove you to...

DeepSouth... The information you seek is out there. This forum is a great place to start. Lots of knowledgeable people here. Sometimes it takes a while for the members experienced with your topic to chime in. It is Christmas, after all. My experience lies in full-size Civil War field...

With all due respect, there is nothing “Parrott” about that thing. It’s not even a fair representation of a reproduction. A pipe bomb on wheels. Decide on what you are wanting as for model and scale size. Decide what you wish to accomplish with it. Then do diligent research and...

45remmy... Welcome to the forum...! Good guys and good info here. I like your artillery kepi... are you a fellow reenactor...? Assuming you know how to load that 1858 cap and ball style, loading the .45 Colt cases won’t be much different. Instead of loading the chamber you are loading a...

Blackpowderwarrior... For use with the little Lee Classic Loader, I strongly recommend getting the Auto-Prime hand tool for priming your cases. It speeds up the process greatly... and avoids soiling your shorts when a primer goes off while seating it with the supplied steel rod. As for the...

Congratulations...! Nice to hear a good story with a double happy ending. And just in time for Thanksgiving, too.
