And remembered again how much fun it is. Can't wait to go out and test 'em. One box .457 140gr rb with 30gr of Swiss FFFg and the other box is 215gr .452 conical with 25gr of the same powder. I used flash paper specially made for the purpose and sealed the bottom and attached the bullet to the...

Hi, I'm new to reloading and I'm trying to figure everything out. So I'm reloading once used Rem brass, I got a Lee Classic 4 hole turret. I also got a Lee Deluxe quick trim and 45-70 quick trim die and I attached the quick trim die to the turret. I just tryed trim one case, but the die...

Hey, Tryed out something different today. Some might find this as a total plasphemy, but I saw a picture of a similar rig on the net and wanted to try if it works. Figured it might be usefull if shooting varmints under the barn where you cant see well where you aim. And maybe get my sights...

And to the next dilemma. [emoji28] I havent had a change to shoot too much with it and i basically have only rifle and shotgun shooting experience. It shoot really low at 25 meters, cant even hit the target if i keep the sights aligned and centered at the target. I've heard that the front...

Hey, I know there's been a lot of topics about this topic and i've read them all. :) I really didn't found a lot of info on exact loads which would create good patterns. Of course rifling will ruin it on longer distances, but i'm talkin about max distance of 10 feet. I was experimenting a bit...

Hey, There must be lot of talk of cleaning blackpowder guns so sorry if i'm spamming. I finally got my Uberti 1858 and should i disassemble and clean it completely before first use. Or is just wiping it with the cylinder off enough? Should i re-lubricate it before first use? I'm propably...

Hey, Whats the best way to lube the bullet groove? Should i melt the lube and then dip it in or just apply it by hand. Or do i need the groove to be lubed at all if i use a lubed wad.

Hey, Does anyone have good tips how to position your rifle when bench rest shooting. I literally have no actual idea what would be the correct way to position your gun when shooting. So bare with me if this sounds stupid to you. I was shooting today on a makeshift stand on my "private range"...

Hey, What would be your choice of the two guns against bears? Bolt action .308 loaded with heavy bullet or 12 gauge pump action shotgun loaded with slugs or 00 buckshot? There might be lot of discussion of this on some thread, but im behind a really bad connection with tapatalk, so its easier...

Hey, I've been thinking of a nylon shoulder holster for 1858 8" remmie. I wonder if http://www.unclemikes.com/holsters/sidekick-holsters/sidekick-vertical-shoulder-holsters will work in size 4. It says 7 - 8 1/2" barrel medium and large double action revolvers and 6 - 7 1/2" barrel single...

Hey, Can anyone tell me width of an Uberti 1858 from the widest part when looking from behind (aiming). I suppose it's from the left side of of the cylinder to the right side of the cylinder? I'm planning a case for it and i'm thinking getting foam inside it with the outlines of the gun cut...

Hi, I'm soon getting my first BP gun, which will be Uberti Remington 1858. What kind of tools will i need to get by. Nipple wrench, screwdriver...? And what size those have to be that i dont ruin any screws etc.

Hey, I'm new here and also new to black powder shooting. I've taken interest in making combustible paper cartridges and being curious i've been measuring the conical bullets and round balls that i've been using. It might be normal, but seems weird to a newbie that when i measure .454 RB or...
