You would have to remove the nipples on the rear of the cylinder. Some might suggest first soaking the entire cylinder in a rust remover first. Either way it is going to take some good old fashioned elbow grease and scrubbing with brass brushes, steel wool and cloth patches to get it all cleaned up.

Thanks man. I’m about to try some shooting today .

Yeah luckily nothing broke. Just a lot of swelling and limited use of arm.

Go figure... I’m all set to go shooting with my brother who I haven’t seen in years. I fell off the back of a boat this morning and am all torn up now. No shooting for me. Yet another work related injury. Word of advice guys, don’t fall five feet onto you’re back on pavement. It won’t end well.

I considered trying old eyensford, but I have everything dialed in with goex. Switching to another powder means I have to run it through six different guns and dial everything in all over again. With four revolvers and two rifles, that's gonna take a lot of time and effort. When I was much...

I was originally using 2f, but I ordered 3f just because it allows me to have one powder for all my bp revolvers and rifles. I'm really anal about keeping things as simple as poasible. I won't exceed 80 grains.

I have the same exact kit.

It's hard to say, but I might be on track to producing around 18 cartridges per hour if I don't make an mistakes. I'm not as productive at it as I could be as there is much room for improvement. I probably spent around five hours making the 75 i have. It's just something you do for an hour or...

Thanks.

Hornady .530 round ball, 80 grains goex fffg, .015 lubed patch from midway USA. Keep in mind it took me three range trips and some 120 rounds to get these results. I swab with a dry patch between shots to hopefully achieve some consistency. I’ve also tried Pyrodex select and triple seven, by my...

Thanks. I’ll look into those.

Frustrating bits would be ripping the rolling papers, not dropping the ball or conical into the tube properly after adding powder and adding too much powder. The rolling paper provided is a really thin type from a brand called Raw. I imagine it burns well, but I'm sure there is something more...

I bought the kit that the guy from the guns of the old west YouTube channel sells. It was very frustrating at first but I finally got the hang of it. I made a combo of .36 and .44 round ball, plus a bunch with the 200 grain lee conicals. I have not shot any yet but hope they work. I made a total...

These are 100 yard targets. The one with the middle of the target missing was shot some 30 times. I don’t really take any or my shooting too seriously these days. I’m really just trying to have a good time. I’m just gonna assume the target with four rounds touching at 100 yards was just pure luck.

Very nice man. I've taken mine out three times now and have shot about 120 round ball out of it. I use 80 grains of fffg goex with mine and really like it. I replaced the stock nipple with a hotshot nipple from track of the wolf because cci #11 caps were not as snug as I thought they could be...

Very interesting video.

I own a total of 4 bp revolvers which have come from Midway usa, EMF company and cabelas. They have all had a thick brown residue in the barrels, chambers and even around the frame. My Lyman Deerstalker also had the same brown grease. Ballistol always works best in cleaning it up before the...

Italian repros always have a brownish packing grease on them. It's always in the barrel, cylinders and most everywhere else in the gun. Its always a pain to clean off and takes some effort.

Thanks for the info arctic cap.
