Just getting started with a revolver

[drobs]

Walmart sells a plastic CVA Powder Flask that has a 20gr spout. The brass flasks are nicer. Walmart also carries cans of Hodgdon Triple Seven 2f which will work just fine in a C&B revolver. Real black powder is more enjoyable though.

If you get up this way I can spot you a couples tins of Remington #10 caps.

You ever get up to Mountain Home, AR?

Bob's Guns & Sporting Goods
209 S College St, Mountain Home, AR 72653
(870) 425-7979

Carries real black powder.

If you want to keep driving north from there, we can get together and shoot sometime. I'm in Theodosia, MO. Gainesville, MO has 2 free use Conservation Ranges at Caney Mountain. 1 for black powder and one modern firearms.

I'll be down in your area twice this month. Going to the Rendezvous in the Ozarks weekend at Byrd's Off Road Park. Then the following weekend, I'll be in Eureka Springs for a Mini Cooper meet.

I do get to Mountain Home once in a while but it’s been a couple years now. Now I have a reason to go.
I’ll be riding by Byrds either Saturday or Sunday on a motorcycle ride. My wife drives a Mini.

I appreciate the offer. Might make that happen.
When you’re in Eureka keep in mind there is cool range in Breeyville. They have a big muzzleloader shoot there every year. I’ve never been to the shoot.
Also they have a muzzleloader store I’ve never been to. I tried a couple times since buying this gun but my hrs and theirs haven’t worked out yet.

I'll have to check that shop out. After last year's Rendezvous in the Ozarks, I stopped off at Nighthawk and took a 2 hour tour of their facility. Nice place, spendy guns!!! Shot one of their 1911's on their test range. Nice but not sure it was $5k nice!

I have Toyota 4Runner that I off road monthly. Rendezvous in the Ozarks is an Overland / Off Road get together. Lots of vendors showing off their tents and off road campers, etc. Trail rides in the day time and then they have pretty cool raffle Saturday night. They giveaway a ton of off road / overland gear. Everything from Roof Top Tents to Winches. I won a Midland Base Station GMRS radio last year.

My "wife" has a Mini Cooper Convertible. The Mini Cooper event in Eureka is the weekend of the 23rd. We'll probably do our own thing but will see.

The company I work for built the new building and remodeled the old part of knight hawk. I’ve spent a lot of time there but sadly haven’t taken the tour yet.

I’m now the owner of 2 BP pistols. my birthday was Monday. My wife knew I had been looking.
she gave me a new 1860 Army. lgs called it used but it’s never been fired.
It’s also a Pietta but seems made much better than the old brasser I bought. Fit n finish is much better.
Yesterday I bought a small powder measure with a built in funnel, pyrodex P, 100 454” balls a 44 cleaning jag and no wads. He had 50 cal wads but no 44. I’m getting close.

The 50 wads might work. If not, get a set of punches and diy.

Back in post 39 I mentioned academy sports near me having caps. I bought 4 tins of CCI 11’s yesterday. 5.99 ea. Limit 4. They had at least 15 - 20 on the hang peg.
