Excellent. Love those .44 brass navies, I hear it's what the Confederates carried because there was no steel in the south. Here are some more for cheap:

Thanks Cooldill, I check Cabela's regular Blackpowder revolvers page regularly and most of the sale items are there. I did not realize that they had deals listed in their Bargain Cave that were not also on the regular sale page.

I would like to get one but I was told on here not to buy brass frame revolvers but for me its easier to buy the brassers due to costs and my income!

Read more on here.

A good many of us shoot Brass on occasion. The big secret is don't go whole hog on the loading. You could as an example put 15 grains by volume of BP in each chamber then the same volume of corn meal and a round ball and grease that puppy and the gun should shoot OK and last a long time.

Some guys report using two of the .44 felt wads rather than one to take up additional space on light charges and avoid greasing the balls.

Like I say keep reading.

Might want to read fast before the sale is over
