In a thread about things not to do with BP the name Kirst Conversion came up. Seems to be a swappable centrefire cylinder for BP revolvers. This got me thinking about how safe it would be.
I imagine that most pressure is felt in the cylinder but all the same, can anyone give some idea of the psi a BP load could produce in a revolver, what a cowboy action load of smokeless could produce by comparison and finally what modern smokeless loadmight produce.
Let's take 45 Cot as a case study.
