    What charges do you guys use for best precision? Swiss powder is easy to find here, but i also have some 777. Going to a competition in a few weeks. Did some testing today and also had my daughter to burn some powder.

    This might be a stupid question, but is there a "correct" way to hold a revolver with grips like these? I think i have a better feeling when holding it with all fingers, but then the trigger finger rests to much on the frame. If i hold it like in the other picture, i get better feeling for the...

    Standard. I have not seen the Magnums here. What is the difference?

    The Rws fits really well on the Totw-nipples, the never fall off and they always fire, but they stick on the hammer, and locks up the cylinder. But, i hope the hammer polish will do the trick. Otherwise i will import a big bag of Remingtons from the US to have for the rest of my life

    I can only find CCI:s and RWS here in Finland, and since it is classified as explosive, it would be really expensive to import Remingtons from the US.

    Grinding an polishing is something that i have spent more time on than anything else, so i can answer that. 1200 grit paper will work just fine, but depending on how rough the surface is, you might have to be rubbing for a while. If you are about to polish eith some paste, by hand without...

    Hi again. I did order new nipples from Track of the wolf, and i tried them today for the first time. Still jamming caps. I have an idea that the cap gets stuck on the hammer and pulled into the slot when i cock it. Polishing of the hammer maybe is worth trying. What kind of powder do you guys...

    Unknown Copy of a Colt Walker Percussion Revolver

    Here in Finland you get licence for new blackpowder guns without membership in a club. I have a Ruger Old army that i shoot at my backyard. And full power airguns up to .25 are also free from licence regardless of power, but apart from that we are far from the nice regulations in the US.

    Thanks for the answer. I want the best possible accuracy, i shoot because i want small groups. Remington caps might be hard to find here but i will try. Should i contact you on your website regarding nipples?

    I realise that i forgot to answer som questions this morning. The caps i used was standard cci, not magnum. The nipples are hexagonal and there was a Ruger original tool for them in the box. How big are the holes in the Treso nipples? Just want to make sure that i dont hace those already...

    When i got the gun, the nipples were far to large for the caps (11:s) to seat, so then i had issues with that. I made a tool for mounting the nipples in my lathe and trimmed them down. Now the fit is firm and that problem is gone. But even with the nipples too large, i had the issue with...

    Here is a picture of my ROA from 1973 that i just bought in as new condition, with box and everything. Im having a lot of fun shooting it, but the caps often gets stuck behind the hammer. I have tried CCI and Rws-caps, and those are what i have found here in Finland. Any ideas of what i should...
