No. .30 caliber is THIRTY caliber and .356/.357/.358 are THIRTY FIVE CALIBER OR 9MM. Always best as KBob suggested, be prepared and know what your gun demads in order to enjoy yourself safely.:)

Well in my opinion while not maybe olympic quality, but for a first session you did exceptionally well...

Well I shoot pretty much everyday, and for simplicity sake, my pumpers get the most utilization. I shoot a Umarex StrikePoint (bulky and weak compared to Crossman) and one of several Classics I own... one that is modified somewhat and produces well over 500 fps at 10 pumps. But one thing about...

These nipples I think were also stainless, but you remind me of how surprised I was at how easy it was to drill through the material at really slow speed even... Aloha... Tom

With a revolver cylinder, what actually would those steps include? Aloha..

Yup... me too... I use hi temp grease or anti-seize on all my nipples after shooting. These were given me and even though stainless... there is always something... I soaked all of these with a penetrant for 24 hours then started the removal process. Aloha... Tom

In retrospect, I wish I had videod this effort. I was given 6 stainless steel cylinders that actually work in my pietta Buffalo, but the problem was, as you all know, there is always one... in this case 4 nipples that were frozen in so tight that I broke two nipple wrenches even though they were...

Oil is oil and I've used cooking oil when I had forgot some oil while in the field, but like all oils, don't just oil and leave it if that is what you're planning. I've recently discovered Rand CLP and so far is as good or better than the other "CLP"s I've tried in the past. Appropriate care...

:cool: Load by volume measure. Pyrodex is much lighter than Black powder which is why you get more shots per "pound" of pyrodex than you will black powder.... a Plus. It is an EQUIVALENT.... and it's by VOLUME... Hope this helps some... Good luck with this shooting experience of yours...

Hi... thank you... is this also with a brass frame? Aloha, Tom

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeeLXXaSZl4 This is a video I discovered that was comparing loads with Pietta black powder pistols and the "new" recommendations of Pietta. I have the same information on my guns as well... 24 in the first manual I received and the online version today is 15...

Musket caps could probably light a cigar at the other end of barrel. One thing to keep in mind with black powder, you don't have to blow it up, you only have to ignite it... and being an inline, a #11 cap will do just fine. In fact, a #11 cap will serve you better with an inline in the elements...

Yeah... I've a musketoon blew the nipple out... and no... this was from Dixie straight away... no replacement... Aloha...
