Greetings all,
Been reading the archives for this group for a while, and decided to join in on the discussions.
I just purchased a Uberti/Remington 1858 New Model Army, and an r & d drop in cylinder for it from Midway a few days back.
Also bought some Black Hills Cowboy Action Ammunition 45 Colt (Long Colt) 250 Grain Lead Round Nose Flat point
Muzzle Velocity: 725 fps to shoot at the range using my new Remi.
My question is: for home defense, would it be safe to shoot Remington Express Ammunition 45 Colt (Long Colt) 250 Grain Lead Round Nose Muzzle velocity: 860 fps
Muzzle energy: 410 ft/lb
in my 1858 Remington?
I realize that over time shooting this kind of ammo could cause damage to the 1858, but in an emergency could that type of ammo cause a problem?
