just got out yesterday , first chance to shoot my peitta 1858 remington, my concern is how often shoud I clean it, I used to have a colt army 1860, I could shoot allday had no trouble with function, probubly only shot it 25 30 times at most. yesterday by the 3rd cylinder the triger was hard and the cylinder would'nt always cycle proper. I tried to get the pin out to remove the cylinder but had to pound it out to get cylinder loose is this normal? I was shooting 30-35 grains bp ,pregreased wad patch and 451 ball. My powder horn was messed up and wouldn't shut off as I had a 30 grain nipple on my flask but sometimes the flask wouldn't shut off I'm sure it had 35+ in cylinder.offhand the groups were good enough for me few high floaters but I'm sure that was from extra powder, otherwise they were 8-10 inch at 40 yards.
