how'd it work out? What did you use?

i have a remington 1858 with the brass frame, a long barrel 8 or 9'' i think
i havent shot it in a long time anyway...
one time i fired pellets out of it just for the heck of it.
i loaded a light charge of powder, 10 grain i think, put in a wadding (paper works, packed the wadding, added about 25-30 pellets of #8 size shot and more paper wadding to hold it in place. something a little more advanced that nokebook paper would probaly give better results.
from about 7 paces the shot covered a 6'' area, might be useful for showing off and shooting hand thrown clays with your revolver, or snakes...
a black powder revolver isnt a shotgun, but necessity is the mother of invention right?

If you have wax "lube pills", you can load your powder, put in a felt over powder wad, fill remainder with shot and leave enough space to seal the chamber with the wax wad. It'll hold it all in really well.
I've shot #8 shot and #0 buckshot out of my Dragoon. Someone here will probably be able to tell more about the "Texas Ranger load" which I think was 2 buckshot and a .45 ball on top, loaded in the Walker.

I tried some awhile back with my Walker, wasn't really impressed, but it's still fun to try every once in awhile.
