    Lewis & Clark powder & lead

    Ken Burns' "Lewis and Clark" PBS documentary from the 90s really expanded my knowledge of them. Rich storytelling and beautiful cinematography. Quite the adventure indeed.

    Clint Eastwood wets himself

    Ha! That's awesome. Is it easy to shoot it with one hand?

    Anybody seen the Kid??

    Upset? I'd be plain pissed. Nobody is so busy that they can't stop by a post office for a solid 6 months or at the very least send an email. For me only acceptable excuse would be the gun tuner "has permanently left the building", is in a coma, or is incarcerated. Either way, you're out of a gun.

    Midway has percussion caps

    Here you go, Remington #10's back in stock at Cabela's. Just placed an order myself. They may be $12.99 per tin but at least they can be found: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/remington-blackpowder-primers

    Midway has percussion caps

    Can confirm, just now bought 6 packs of Remington#10 at my local Cabela's (Ohio) and there are still plenty left. Funny thing is I called just yesterday and was told by the gun dept. there were none in stock nor would they be getting any in. Was in the store today for something completely...

    Ghost guns

    This is in no way meant to be political, I'm genuinely curious. I'll move this to the "law" forum if it's inappropriate here. So it's being reported that part of President Biden's executive order regarding guns will restrict the online sale of "ghost guns". According to the news these are guns...

    Just found a bunch of German 1075 caps.

    I keep telling myself maybe my Track of the Wolf nipples weren't turned correctly or they accidentally put the wrong nipples inside the correctly labeled bag. So I'm curious how yours work with those 1075s. Let us know!

    Just found a bunch of German 1075 caps.

    I bought a bunch of those 1075+ last year along with the Track of the Wolf SS nipples that are supposed to be a great fit. Turns out they're an awful fit, they are way too tight. Even seating them with a dowel as hard as I can doesn't work. They'll only go off after all caps have been seated by...

    No caps?

    Even at the physical store BPS/Cabella's were still selling the CCI's for 8.99 a pack. It's the only place in the entire city that has caps so I'm stuck paying the higher price. I'm new to cap and ball revolvers but I'm guessing that once the price goes up it never comes down.

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    Found your Uncle Mike's link and they're now only $14.50 for a pack of 6. http://www.thegunworks.com/custprodgun.cfm?ProductID=457&do=detail&Cat2Option=yes

    No caps?

    https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/remington-blackpowder-primers The main photo and description are for 209's (shotgun primers I think?) so it's very decieving. But on the right side of the screen underneath the price there's a drop-down menu where you can choose 209's OR the Remington 10's...

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    I thought I read once that Uncle Mike's were designed primarily for the RWS 1075+, have you ever tried those caps? I'd love to pick up some uncle mike's but was under the impression they weren't being made anymore. Do you recall the site where you saw them sold a while back?

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    Hey Jim, I have yet to take it to the range so have just been shooting caps to try and figure this out. The RWS 1075 plus are a snug fit on the Slixshot. Putting them on with thumb pressure didn't do the trick so I've been seating them hard with a brass wedge punch from Track of the Wolf. But...

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    Hey Jim, I have yet to take it to the range so have just been shooting caps...not too often but enough to determine which caps work for the nipples I have.

    Percussion caps source

    Thanks for the info Arcticap, even with the higher hazmat fee I might snatch some up. I'm newer to this side of bp shooting, is the scarcity of caps due to Covid shutdowns? Hoarding perhaps?

    Percussion caps source

    Just picked up my first bp revolver (Uberti 1860) and all I can find anywhere are the RWS 1075+. They definitely don't fit the stock nipples no matter how hard I try to seat them. Even after a hammer blow they just compress and mushroom at the end but are still intact. Track of the Wolf...

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    I did turn down one of the Track of the Wolf stainless nipples but man is that metal hard! At first I wrapped the threads in painters tape (all I had on hand) but eventually screwed it into a stainless nut and chucked that instead. It allowed the nipple to sit further out from the chuck so it...

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    I called Slix shot yesterday, he said their cones should work fine with the RWS 1075+ and my Uberti 1860 Army. He also mentioned the 1075+ is a longer cap and MAY bind up in revolvers with really tight tolerances. I appreciate his honesty so will order from Slix shot today. I'll post my results...

    Best RWS 1075+ / nipple combo

    Really happy to hear they work well with Treso, slix shot,etc. For instance, if slix shots with 1075+caps work on a Pietta, then they'd generally work on an Uberti? Thread size and length being different of course.
