Black powder revolvers

an empty 7.672X39 case makes a good powder measure for a '58 Rem or ROA hunting load. about 32gr 3F, leaving enough room for a felt and a conical slug squeezed down snugly. room for little more powder but it ain't needed to kill a hog.
 
Yer new around these parts ain't cha? :O)

I went to a CAS shoot once ... was asked ifin I wanted ta shoot, thanked um and said no but it looks like fun... the Photographer asked me, "your a shooter ain't ya?" When I asked what he meant he said, "you shoot distance and hunt." I said yeah... and left for the outdoor Pistol house.
I'll agree you learned what you learned in several years a doin' what you did and thank ya for sharin', but I'll shut my mouth there and do like my dear Mom always told me, and had to learn the hard way after many years.

Sometimes WartHog ... and sometimes I kill for meat ... and been shootin' The Holy Black more than a couple decades...
 
I'd like to know, if I cut down the barrel of my 1860 to make an 'Avenging Angel' of it, if I can get a penile implant for it and make it 8" again if I decide later to go back. Or will I have to feed it Extenze instead of Black Powder? :D

The Doc is out now. :cool:
 
I've just been informed that JB Weld is the penile implant adhesive of choice for the home penile implant.

Works good:

I have both Piettas and Ubertis(7 1860s all total). My match guns and my backup guns are Piettas. It seem that the Piettas are better internally but the Ubertis may be prettier.
My match guns have the Pettifogger modification in that the hand spring has been replaced with Ruger coil spring and plunger.

Thanks to Fingers for his much valued seal of approval.

I've noticed some disapproval of the idea of shooting a lesser load than max based on hunting loads. If you will read the first paragraph of my initial post I indicate I am refering to CAS shooters. If I were to take one of my handguns hunting it would not be a black powder gun. I would take as my first choice my Super Black Hawk Hunter Bisley in 41 Mag that has been "touched up" by Gary Reeder. It would be carring a 230 gr LBT bullet with all the W296 I can get in the case.
We're talking apples and oranges.

Jus' havin' a lil' fun with ya too ... nothin' wrong with a 28gr load in a .44 that's what I usually load... Yer a good sport and welcome to the BP Shootin' Gallery NOZ :O)
 
Thanks to all on the Uberti hammer pull issue. I only have one question,why is the Remington 44 pull like butter and how do I achieve that pull. I did read the post stating that you can sand/cut the spring but it was a little vague. I just got into BP and just love it, other than the pull issue.Thanks again guys.
