hi there, I'm relatively new into blackpowder-shooting. I'm only 20 years old, have several firearms, but the blackpowder-bug seemt to have bitten me.
I was looking for a powerful, robust, massive, goodlooking revolver, and the Old Army seems to fit in.
I do have a couple of questions though:
1) recoil, I'm a pretty big guy, so I can handle some. since I want something powerful, heavy recoil is a must for me. it doesn't have to be the .454casull type of recoil, but something in between a .357 magnum and a .44 magnum should do it. how's the Old Army doing in this area
2) what's the ammo cost, if you take lead balls, percussion caps, powder and something to seal of the cilinder for a total of 100 shots. how much will this cost me. I'm going for a blackpowder revolver since a .44 magnum seems to expensive in the ammo area here in Belgium.
3) performance, does it equal the .357 magnum performance (let's say 6-shot 3" groups at 25 yards)?
any other toughts or maybe some good pictures are also welcome of course.
hope you guys can help me out here
