OK so i am loking to buy my first in line, budget 400$ absolute max, preferable closer to 3. I looked at a few at cabellas, to get an idea what i was really dealing with when surfing the web, and I found that the CVA optima has a markedly thicker barrel than the wolf, or any of the others...

I am hoping for advice, on a first rifle (defo will be getting more than one eventually, i have an eye on the Lyman Mustang w the walnut stock but 1st something cheap, but ok to hunt with, im seeing cva wolf vs traditions tracker @ aprx. 180$ what do you think?

those are neat id love to know more! fyi the pepperbox is smooth bore, little shotguns basically, multi ball loads were done all the time in their day, rifled one has to be more careful, but when touching the balls behave as one object.

remember not everyone uses their BP guns for just paper punching or hunting. Multi ball loads were common practice back in the day, for defense purposes. As long as the balls touch, its all good.

i think the whol;e issue of Guns and gun control, and 2nd ammendment issues, all comes down tio a fundemental difference in thinking about whos responsibilities it is to keep us and our families safe. one camp says its the job of law enforcement, we pay them and train them so we dont have to...

If a crazed tweaker, loaded to the gills on God only knows what, comes at your wife and or kids with a knife screaming at them to stop trying to steal his thoughts, I really really hope you would not be stupid enough to shoot at him with a bb gun, better to simply run away if thats the best you...

I recently made a snub nose out of a 1858, barrel is about 3 inches from cylinder to end of barrell, and i was thinking how to make up for the lost time in barell and therefore pressure and velocity, and came up with loading 2 451 balls on 30 grains pyrodex by volume (compresses a lot), no...

I think you must have meant, "will it stop a charging hippie, not "hippo", and unfortunately it will often not be effective as a dirt foot deterrent , usually for a bad infestation of the common north american hippie, the only thing that will drive them off are #1. Running out of weed and #2...

I have read from quite a few people they are getting velocities about on par with somewhere between a .38 special on the low end, and .45 acp on the high end, I've shot plenty of both and the kick im [not] getting is not close. Im using .451 balls but they shave a small ring still so making a...

I should be more specicfic, it was about 45 grains [pyro]dex BY VOLUME but that stuff compresses down so much that i can put that and a wonder wad and 451 ball in my pietta 1858 on top of 40-45 grains using the on board loading lever

well mainly juyst on GP, if i wanted something that went bang and shot sparks id have bought fireworks, when you shoot a .44 you should feel that muzzle jump, its like the power of it that makes shooting a big bore gun fun IMO. Also you have to keep in mind not everyone on here has the same...

it seems im not getting much punch as is, barely any recoil even with a 45 grain load of dex

can anyone recommend a good smith for a chamber reaming, that is cheap and fast turnaround? I want to open them up to a .451 and currently a .449 if its to specs. the groove is exactly the same but im looking to increase pressure/ velocity by way of resistance (maybe im over simplifying but...

Ok, calling on those old timers who know the science of BP, check my logic here and tell me if im missing something or am i hitting the mark I keep reading all over the different black powder boards everyone saying that "subs combust, BP detonates" first off, neither one detonates, from the...

Perhaps I'm oversimplifying it but my thinking is that if the size of the chamber and therefore the size of the projectile is larger than the size of the barrel grooves then just like a power nozzle does to water it would increase the pressure coming through the "nozzle" of the Forcing cone...

I was thinking not of the 51 navy but rather the 1873 SAA black powder version, which is obviously not a piece one would get for a historical piece since to my knowledge they never made a cap and ball 73', so it's a shooter not collector piece, the idea being that it's the closest to a...

How much did they charge for the park job?

Sorry I double posted on accident.
