Cool thanks!
Won't work.ive always wondered if you could use a drop of melted parafin wax, or a combustable glue to hold a 30 grain pyrodex pellet to the bottom of a conical bullet for your own "cartridge"... maybe a was in between the two so you just drop it in the chamber and ram it to load
you dont think the act in crushing the bullet into the chamber, as well as the concussive force of ignition wouldnt break that seal between the two? parafin is easy to breakWon't work.
Bp burns slowly enough that part of the pellet will exit the barrel with the bullet before it's completely burned. Might make an interesting tracer round, though.
Likewise the fluted cylinder model I just got on sale.Here's photos of 2 steel frame Pietta 1860's that were purchased on sale yesterday at my local Cabela's.
Both of them have the 2012 "CI" proof date code.
Beauties! That tiger-stripey stock is great!Here's photos of 2 steel frame Pietta 1860's that were purchased on sale yesterday at my local Cabela's.

Hellgate, can't help tinkering with stuff! My father actually came up with that nickname, because when I was born I had workin' man's hands. Smokeless powder might work pretty well for these tracers, just unsure of how fast the pressure would build in the barrel.Busyhands, you are well named. As they say, idle hands are the devil's tools. Always lookin' for something fun to mess with aren't cha? You are way ahead of where I was at your age in finding mischief but it sure was fun. :>) I've seen some of your videos. OK, back to ping pong balls (celluloid). I would expect that acetone might dissolve it. If not, I used to dissolve smokeless powder with acetone to make stuff flame out after it dried.
