Today I bought a used but5 very clean BP pistol
It is a Colt Army style and in 44 cal made by FLLIPIETTA Italy I have a 50 cal hawkins but have never had or even shot BP a pistol.
What kind of powder should I use and a starting point for a charge
What dia ball should I use No manual with gun Just pistol and holster
Lastly I always thought the barrel wedge just pushed out I couldn't get this one out and has a screw just above it on L/side What am I doing wrong
I bought for a $100 Locks up tight and pretty good trigger Did I Spend to much
