I found a San Marco .44cal single shot pistol on a local guns-for-sale website in South Africa. Its also known as the CVA Prospector with the Western engravings on both sides. I do know that its the Italian version of the well known Tingle pistol but also that it held its own against other single shot pistols.
Perfect condition and a even better price!!
Well, I searched everywhere on the Web on information and there isn't really a lot, basically the same stuff over&over.
Included in the sale was about 300x roundballs, .435" and a bunch of patches already cut but still un-lubed.
Now I must just get time to visit the farm to shoot it. From what I read the pistols seemed to be a favorite with target-shooters?
Lee made a .452" round-nose bullet mold weighing around 228gr for the 6-shooter pistols, I have a few boxes of them left after I sold my 1858 Rem New Army. I'm thinking of making a sizer to get them to around .441/.442" to use in the pistol for a little more K.E.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Loads seems to be between 20 to 25gr of 3F
