heck no. A real .44 like mine shoots a 240-250 grain conical VS a round ball that weighs maybe 80-90 grains. Im not even sure what a .451 ball weighs to be honest.

From Speer:


0.451
137 grains

0.454
140 grains

0.457
143 grains

recoil is nothing in a .44cal black powder revolver. Its like shooting my 22 mag.

BS

Load a .44 with 2grams of black powder and a conical bullet, and it will rock enough (like a 38special, at least)

 

[frontiergander]

they dont kick at all with round ball and 28 grains of pyro p. Its a good thing i never loaded one of those conicals in that '51 confederate navy or i probably would have blown off my hand.

Have a good quality revolver if you want to shoot conicals out of it!

the wedge pin and barrel would fly off the frame. They sent me a new wedge pin and it kept doing it

Have you ever heard of kitchen table gunsmithing? If you shoot C&B Guns especially Colt pepro Revs it's just a given that you need to know how to fix, tune, adjust and BP Rev.

All you had to do with out any of these skills was buy an 1858 Remington and not the cheapist Rev that Cabelas sold.

Or Tap the wedge in the '51 Reb so it stayed, or stone the back of the wedge with an India stone so it fit right.

I ain't exactly Rocket Science, but if you don't know what the problem is there are always these forums to ask in.

Happy Shootin',

It was junk, pure and simple. If i wanted to rebuild the pistol to make it reliable, i would have had bought custom made. But for $100, what can you expect.

Cabelas even said the pin holding the cyl. shaft never should have come out on me. Im not the only person to have trouble with this model of revolver.

Im pretty much done with revolvers though. I always had a hankering for them and the single shots but to me, i just dont have a use for them.

Is breaking down a bp revolver, as difficult as a normal revolver. I only it's difficult because i feel like i'll screw up putting it back together.

Single action revolvers are quite simple to take appart and reassemble, specially when compared to double action revolvers.

Guess you may have needed to do a little more research before you went and bought the cheapest that Cabelas had, like I said previously. Apparently you still haven't done any research or you just don't listen to anyone giving you valid info.

Here's some more valid info, A Colt 3rd generation Signature Model 1st Dragoon with an R&D Conversion Cylinder housing six .45 Long Colt 255gr flatnose soft led boolits sittin' on 35gr of "real" Black Powder....a LiL' more kick than the rat fart pyrodex and a 144gr round ball you are so aquainted with. Or you can load 50gr of BP behind that 144gr round ball and feel that.
