Went into the bowels of my gun locker last week and pulled out my black powder revolver. I haven't ever done this yet, but I've meant to get around to it, so I inventoried my supplies last week. I've got a revolver. I've got powder flasks, a measuring tool, a neat suede bag with fringes, percussion caps, cleaning brushes, nipple wrench, extra nipples, and lots of balls (5 boxes of .457). After researching components, it seemed the only thing lacking was powder and wadding. I picked up some pyrodex and wadding at Cabelas this weekend. I think I have everything I need to shoot it now, except experience.
So I was thinking, should I just go and follow the owner's manual, and try it out by myself? I've been shooting for many years, and I'd never hesitate to try a new gun out myself, but this is a new concept. What do you think?
