I'm think'n about geting into black powder & would like to start off with a wheel gun since that's what I'm most fimiliar with.
What I'm try'n to figure out is these 'conversion' cylinders. I've read that the .36's can be fitted with a cylinder to fire .38 special (which I already have) But isn't a .36 cal BP bore around .375" where as a .38 special fires a 357"-358" That's a lot of slop between the barrel & bullet!
I'd shoot it most the time with the regular BP cylinder but I figure if I already have .38's to shoot why not?
Figured I'd come to the experts before I dive in head first. Thanks!
On second thought what about the .44 cal BP & a 45 colt cylinder? My main concern is with accuracy.
