I'd say this was my first black powder pistol purchase but I did buy one I never shot about 15 years ago. Living in Hawaii it was just too complicated and cumbersome at the time to get powder, caps, ect. Ended up selling it (actually made a couple bucks too) unfired after owning it for a couple years.
UPS dropped off a Cabela's Navy model yesterday with all the fixings I'll need to shoot it. Knowing very little about this area of shooting I've got a few questions to ask after reading the manuals that came with it.
It says to store the caps and powder in different locations. My question is how far away and how dangerous is this? Are the caps unstable or something? Do I need to move them away from my regular ammo too?
I'm wondering if I need to get a separate fire safe to keep the powder in???? Any suggestions on storage of the powder and caps would be appreciated.
Oh and if there's something about black powder pistols that would be helpful to a newbie I'd appreciate that too.
Thanks!
