Hi,
I got a Pietta 1851 Navy .44, and I went to fire it, but the bullet didn't shoot out, the powder just went off, what am I doing wrong?
(I was using 25 grains Pyrodex Pistol powder, and a .451 Hornady lead ball)
Also, I have a Thompson hawken rifle that gets narrower at the breech end of the barrel because of rust and pitting, is it safe to fire?
Thanks
