    Simple powder measures.. handgun brass ?

So i first use those 2 shells for the volume amount then...

    Pietta 1858 New Army and Conicals.

    The remington is the best of the reproductions for the conical, the lee you can put it in on the side and push it in a little then rotate it over under the rammer. I like the lee ones alot, i havnt used to many of them but i like them better then a ball.

    Remington ………the revolver of choice

    There are good and bad of both the colt and the remington. I'd say the remington is the consistantly the most accurate but it has its flaws. I didnt think the colt could ever be as accurate as a remington but it actually can. Not sure how consistantly accurate

    Pyrodex, does it have a shelf-life?

    Dont setup a gun with old powder. If your going to setup a gun use new fresh powder then set it up. Then play around with the old stuff IMO it all has a shelf life. I shot and shot some old stuff then i bought a new can and it felt like i went from 20 grains to 30 (well maybe not that...
