I'm waffling on this. I had wanted a conversion cylinder in .45ACP for my 5.5" Remmy. Now, I handload .45ACP on a progressive, shoot lead 200 grain SWCs I cast from a Lee mold. My pistol is a Ruger KP90DC. I'd thought it'd be perfect for the Remmy, but the more I think about it, hell, I already shoot .45 Colt in a Blackhawk AND .38/.357. Why would I want a conversion? I have 3 cylinders for the gun now. My thinkin' is if I eventually picked up 9 cylinders, I'd have one to keep in the gun loaded, 8 x 6 is 48 rounds, almost a box, I'd have to load up and shoot all at once, cleaning the cylinder pin of goo every 18 rounds, of course, a Remmy tradition. See, one of the things I like about cap and ball is NO BRASS to wear out.
Thoughts anyone? I'm on the fence about it. I could save up for a conversion, or I could just buy a spare cylinder once a month or something until I have 9 of 'em, my goal. I could eventually get the conversion cylinder, anyway, but I'm just wondering if I'd even like it. I have lots of cartridge revolvers already, .22LR, .38, .357, .45 Colt.
