I have seen ammo marketed for antiques that is quite weak and safe for nearly any firearm. I have a decent supply of super colibri ammo. Looking specifically for something that fits an antique S&W number 1 cylinder though is getting a bit frustrating. The ammo is sold in fairly large quantity and it’s very very expensive for what it is. I’m wondering what the best cheap option is for shooting this old gun. I’m beginning to think that pushing a bullet deeper into the case may be an option on the colibri. Or rip them apart trim the live case and reinsert the bullet. I don’t particularly care for that option but I’m also not entirely opposed. If I do that I will buy a round ball bullet mold and drop some pure soft lead balls for that specific purpose. Make a thousand or so and then move on. Anybody have a solution to this that’s not 50 cents a shot?
