I got the conversion cylinder for my 1858 Remington 44 Pietta and bought some ammo from Ten X. Well, from my knowledge I can use it, but one box is 200 gr rnfp and it looks to be too hard for shooting it through my firearm here. The other box (165 gr hbfp)had bullets so soft I can cut the lead with my finger nail, but the suspect one is smooth and metallic. This means the smooth one has too much antimony in it, right? My first boxes of ammo were made by Magtech, and they were fine.
p.s: I have yet to discover what hbfp means. Some sort of flat point bullet though I gather from the FP on the end of the name.
