I got a Pietta in a trade this weekend. I traded off the 12ga Reloader for
a Pietta - 1862 Colt Police. It is a .36 cal.
I've been reading up on the loading process.
Please correct me here. I've read 2 different ways.
One involves using a 365 ball, and a patch.
The other is to use a .375 ball, and Lube/Grease the top after loading?
Apparently the wad take the place of the grease to prevent Chain firing?
Also one places calls for 15 grains of FFFg, and the other 20 grains
of FFFg?
Would this method be fine?
1. Pour measured powder in cylinder...15gr?
2. Place a .375 ball in cylinder, and compress until it stop/ seats
3. Lube the reminder on cylinder with Bore Butter ect.
4. Place caps on nipple
5. Fire....I hope
Excuse my ignorance, as I have never shot CB revolvers.
I've never even shot any BP for that matter.
