When I was eighteen or so, I had a .36 Navy that I had a lot of fun with. I gave it to a friend when I turned 21 and could buy modern handguns, and haven't done any black powder stuff since. Now that I have a satisfactory assortment of pistols and revolvers, I'm planning to order a BP revolver for funsies today. It'll be an Uberti '58 Remington .36. Here's what I need your help with:
#1 Black powder is illegal in my state, so I'm not sure what I should be looking at as a decent powder. Pyrodex P maybe?
#2 I looked at the Uberti manual online, and it doesn't mention what size caps to use. 10? 11?
#3 Any recommendations for a flask that dispenses a measured amount? It'd be nice if it could be adjustable.
#4 What's a good source for .36 ball? I may get into casting at some point, but not right away. And, while I'm on the topic, which is preferable-- .375 or .380?
Thanks muchly for your assistance!
