44 pietta army Went back to the range and upped my powder to 28grs of geox fff and man what a difference. 12-15 is ok for nothing. My groups were 6-12" before and way high, now I'm shooting 15yrd with a 25yrd target and punchin threw the middle almost everytime. Hell I can't even see the target...

wad Thanks Mec for your info. You seem to be a (Mecca of info) on this forum, and I appriciate all of it. Later! Don-:rolleyes:

paper Maybe this is a dum question, but does the paper jam-up with the ball on the way out or effect the ball at all? My colt repo would be hard to see down the cylinder for reminents, with out taking the cylinder off. Does this paper counter act the bore-butter? Is there no need for a wad if...

load Does it matter if the ball is closer to the top? Whats the 777 in front of your fffg? Is that the brand. I'm using pyrodex P fffg, is that good? Darn right these guns are cool.. Don-

butter Not on the powder, on the top of the ball. piettas book tells me after the 12-15 gr of 3f the ball will be .040 down from the top of the cylinder. I find this not true, even if I put 28gr in. Do I need to smear that butter in the cylinder on the ball, or is a lubed wad on the powder good...

44 pietta army I must be crazy I could swear my book says 12-15 grains of fffg. 28? Can I go more? Don-:evil: Whats the advantage of .457 over a .454 ball?

caps My 1860 army peitta had a problem fireing cci #10's the store guy recommended, and I bought remington 11's and never looked back! There the same price here and work gloriously. Don-:barf:

BP for my 44 pietta? My 44 calls for 12-15 grain of fffg which I've already fired off and seems to work good. But can this gun handle more grains? Can I get pellets for it? Wow that butter sure gets everywhere. They tell me that the ball is suppose to stop about .o40 from the top of the...

1860 pietta army Great article on BP-Revolvers. I have one I recently bought and I've been wondering if those plugs to take the place of BP work and how you change the qrains,or if you can buy them with different grains. I like mine now but it is a bit tiering loading all the time. Mine needs...
