Have read a couple old posts regarding the Howdah pistol but have found nothing regarding the precussion cap size to use. Is it 10 or 11 or? What brand would be best? I will be using Pyrodex R until I use up the 2 cans. (Originally purchased for Trapdoor, Sharps, RB, High Wall, .45-70 / 90 shooting.)
The Pedersoli Howdah was purchased at the Kansas City Ks. Cabela's for #382.49 minus $70.00 promotion card = $312.49 + tax $27.16. Total cost $339.65. It was new in the box purchased from the Bargin Cave. Thought that was a pretty good price. It is a beautiful gun, I have 6 other Pedersoli cartridge .45-70 rifles.
Any advise on precussion size & brand would be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS: I got away from BP shooting in 1969 or 70. Got out of recreational shooting and did some REAL shooting in Viet Nam.
