Thank you for the insight! I will sell and save up for the Ruger.

I was thinking of trading my Uberti Colt Walker for a used Ruger Old Army. I haven't fired it in a few years, but thinking of getting back into black powder shooting, but with a different gun this time. Does this sound like a logical trade? I wold like to get a stainless version, but I...

I have put about 150 balls through my Walker so far. It shoots a bit high, but that is to be expected from what I have read. The only thing is mine shoots high and to the right. For example, When aiming at the middle target on a paper target from around 15-20 yards, I hit the top right hand...

Thankyou for your replies, I will have both guns in the end. I find it very hard to argue the point of getting 2 BP revolvers right now with the wife when I'm getting shipped off to Deigo Gargia for a year this spring/ early summer time frame. I'm definately bringing my 14/0 Senator and going...

I like the part just after that when he shoots the gun for the first time, cuts the target in half, jumps on the board and then it falls off. "How much? I said how much?" Great movie. Let's not forget the name Arch Stanton, lol. I love that song by Hugo Montenegro "The Story of a Solider".

Ok, I'm super new to black powder. Anyway I did get my 1858 peitta in from Cabela's last Friday. I took it to this good out door range and fired it 18 times. Great fun, it was my first time. I started out with 20 gr of triple se7en for the first 12 shots. Running a swab down the barrel and...

I'll try to find a tackle box that fits, as they come in every compartment size and shape you can think of, I'm sure I'll find the one I need. I did get my conformation email moments ago from Cabela's. I didn't get the sale price that you mentioned Gaucho Gringo due to the gun I ordered was the...

I ordered a Traditions 1858 from the Sportsmans guide on the 16th of December, They said it would ship around the 26th, ok no problem. I then find out that they would not be shipping it until today, I'm kinda upset but nothing personal. The Sportsman's guide then calls me today and tells me to...

Nice gun. I was considering a walker. Think I'll wait a few years until I get settled. I'm super new to shooting BP myself.

Thanks for the heads up!! I was wanting to buy some but wasn't about to pay retail price for 50 bullets. Just picked up 4 boxes.

I wish I would of ordered mine from Cabela's. Instead I got it from the sportsman's guide. Ordered on the 16th of December and still waiting. Cabela's would of been just a bit more expensive, but I would of had my gun a long time ago. I have already recieved my extra parts and spare cylinder...

I know a few people down here that hunt with model 700 .223's and they all swear by the winchester ballistic tip bullet. The one in the black box and the bullet is black with a silver casing. They are about 22 bucks a box though. I almost went with a .223, but sided with the 6.8 SPC.

This is some geat info. I'm still waiting for SS Remington New Army to come in. I kinda wish I would of bought from Cabela's, but I picked it up from the Sports man's guide and I have the club membership. I'll pick up some graphite lube in a few days. I did make some ball lube out of beeswax...

I hunt occasionally around the Premount area. I just picked up a RRA AR15 6.8 spc for the brush, 3x9x40 buckmaster scope w/BDC, and yes for fun. My 30-06 kicks abit hard to effectivly hit more than one javalina in a pack before they run off (they sell soooooooo bad don't they?). The ranges I...

Ok, Thankyou for your help. Arcticap, I didn't see the search button until I became a member, but now I found it I bet I have done around 100 searches it seems, it's my primary lurking tool. lol From what I gathered I felt I needed an extra cylinder and a parts kit. I feel I did pretty good...

I just picked up a .44 cal stainless 1858 revolver from The Sports Mans Guide. Target sights and all. Sould be in by the end of the month. I have some questions though, What would the most accurate size ball be? I was going to orders some but noticed that the Hornady balls come in various...
