if you don't need to take the press to the range this works. just a small harbor freight arbor press.

i pull my revolvers down and all the parts and frame go in the sonic cleaner with water and dish soap. then a quick water then alcohol rinse. into the oven at 215f, then while hot johnsons paste wax. the moving internal parts are lubed with a syringe filled with mobil 1 during assembly.

you might want to start with some hornady 44 pistol bullets and 1 bag each harvester 44/50 and harvester crush rib 44/50 sabots. then see which one fits your bore best. you should not need to pound the sabot/bullet down the barrel. for 209 primers try cci 209 and 209m, both are long primers and...

i have both colts and remingtons. i go along with the rem folks as starter revolver. the uberti rem is more $ but you get a dovetailed front sight and ram keeper post. i do run powder, lubed felt wad, ball and add some over ball lard. i find it keeps the cylinder turning, after repeated firings.

not handy to take to the range, but it sure can compress some powder.

i go with loads that i would use in the field or for defense. then i like a field grade trigger with no creep. my loads are adjusted for accuracy by a few grains one way or the other. that's the loads i shoot at the range. now if your shooting competition that’s another matter.

i use 25 pyrodex p in my 1861[36] with a felt wad, which is a recent purchase. 28 pyrodex p is almost level with the cylinder when poured but it compresses a lot when the ball is seated.

who knows where the $ go, maybe to pay for illegals driver license. http://www.ct.gov/despp/lib/despp/slfu/firearms/despp-417-c_application_for_ammunition_certificate_fillable.pdf

common in the north eastern blue states. everything is a fee.

i got started with bp revolvers because my state keeps piling on fees for guns, ammo etc. i have a hunting license but can not buy ammo to hunt unless i buy a special ammo permit? i have been handloading for more than 40 yrs, but soon that might even change. i asked around the gun club for a bp...

somehow i miss the point of looking for nostalgia and linking to a stainless steel replica?

i have a pietta 61 "navy" , the shorter 62 barrel should fit the 61? thanks

i was in cabelas ct today. they had #10 & 11 remington caps on sale for $5.99 per tin. info only.

dd, i found a pietta 61 at friendly price. now i am looking for a brass 51 with the 5" barrel but a car repair bill has drained the pool. with the brass you get the barrel and spare parts. maybe the pool will refill by cabelas dec sale?

i just checked my 1860 pietta case hardened frame. a needle file bounces off, meaning the case hardness is above Rc55, the hardness of a file. it also means that a standard high speed steel tap will not cut the threads in your frame. you might want to check your frame with a file. clean out the...

here is what cva states. looks like you want 90-120 grains. http://www.cva.com/how-much-powder-can-i-load-in-my-muzzleloader.php

the frame should be harder than the screw, huge chance a new screw will do the trick. order 2 screws, while waiting for the screws to arrive try the good one in the hole for the bad screw.

noz, the op was referring to the remington not the colt open top.

pyrodex p is my choice for a range powder @ $20/#. t7 or old e [5# shipped] is good for the real thing around $27/# but t7 has self life problems.

dicky, the regs have run real bp out of the state. i have several lbs of olde but i hold that in reserve [unlimited self life] and shoot pyrodex p.
