    Cap and Ball revolver snake shot loads

    the load that worked for me was: 25 g. goex 3f blackpowder, ram in a wonder wad, fill to chamber mouth w/ #12 shot, cover w/ another wonder wad. i carried this load around in a holster, the shot didnt budge. perforates a tin can at close range, but the pattern opens up QUICK. this is with a...

    s&w model 34 vs. model 18

    yeah, i'd say the primary purpose of it definitely isnt practice for bigger guns. for me, plinking w/ a .22 is an activity in and of itself. my primary purpose for firearms really is just target practice and plinking. i own a glock .40 s&w which i use as a home-defense weapon (i have spent a...

    Blackhawk discussion thread

    So, whats the difference between blackpower and pyrodex?

    there are advantages and disadvantages to each, you'll have to decide which you like best based on yer own testing. my observations are 1. pyrodex fouling does not build up like blackpowder fouling. it still gets all over everything, but it doesnt accumulate and cake like blackpowder fouling...
