Hi guys, my first post here.
I have a Llipieta copy of a Colt 1851 navy.I think that's what it is anyhow.Octagonal barrel, 7 and 3 eigths inch from the front of the cylinder to the end of the barrel.Brass frame.It shoots .351 balls and uses #11 caps.3F powder,Single action of course.I love it.Just figured I should describe it the best I can...might help.
What I'd like to know and haven't really found much of an answer is...Can I shoot conical bullets with this pistol?I can easily make a new ram(A ram right?)for the loading lever to fit the nose of the bullet but would it be any more accurate?And mainly, would it be safe?
Sorry if someone posted about this before but I've looked and haven't seen it.
Thanks for reading and I love the site.
