WARNING: DON'T TRY THIS, WE DID THIS AT OUR OWN RISK!!!!! I HOLD NO RESPONSIBILITY! Now with the warning done, have a look at our homemade rock launcher: Loaded using Pyrodex. Barrel is high pressure steel pipe, but I don't recommend anyone doing this at all, it is dangerous really...

I shot some Remington factory .45 bullets in my EAA bounty hunter and after 50 rounds got alot of leading. I slugged the bore and got a .452 and the cylinder throats came out to a .454. Would a .454 bullet be safe to shoot in it? I think it would but I figure I will ask the people who have...

I was wondering if anyone here use or used plated bullets in a .45 Colt, or jacketed bullets. I just got an EAA Bounty Hunter and will be ordering my dies for the .45 colt soon. I just wanted a few opinions to get on either of these bullet types. I will probably be shooting either 200 or 250...

I bought an EAA Bounty Hunter today in .45 Colt for loading some BP rounds. First thing I did was tear into it to check out the internals and if they need cleaning. When I took off the handle, out came a small piece of paper reading: "Property of: William S***** Sept. 21, 1949" (last name...

Anybody try Lil' Gun in a .357? I was wondering how accurate it is in them. I am using Hodgdon H110 now, but I like to try other powders too.

Well, finally got around to doing my second test for the lube pills. I was using the same mix, 50% beeswax and 50% Crisco. The test platform this time was a Pietta 1858 New Army Target. I got 100 shots in without even having to wipe the pin. Load data: 20 gr FFF Goex Lube Pill over...

I shot 100 rounds through my pietta 1851 navy without cleaning it at all. I didn't even wipe anything off. Final results are in so here is my range report using Lube pills. Here is my Pietta Navy. Not as accurate as my 1858, but it does pretty good. I selected it because I can get more...

I have been eying this rifle for some time now and finally went out and got myself one. This is also called a Blue Ridge Rifle sold by Cabelas. I got it from the Cabelas in Wheeling WV. For $379.00 + Tax. I love this rifle, it looks and feels good. It comes with a 39 inch barrel and 1 in 48...

I got a box of Buffalo .457 conical pistol bullet to try out in my Remington 1858. They cost $9.59 per box and have 50 per box. They also come with wads. Loading was easy. They had a reduced heel on they and fit into the chambers very well. I pushed them in until it hit the end of the heel...

I seen many people mention the $60 CVA Bobcat on here and decided to get one to try it out and see how it does. I picked mine up at the local walmart for $59 + tax. After cleaning it up and taking it out to shoot, I think I got a good buy for the money. Stock: I like the way the gun...

Just got a Pietta 1858 Target model from Cabelas for $200, and it seems to be a pretty good shooter. Accuracy is better than from my Pietta 51 Navy, and it shoots a bigger charge, so I get a bigger boom and more smoke. :) I also picked up a can of Goex while I was there because nothing beats...

Just wondering where you all go to get your parts for you pistols. I have 2 pietta guns one an 1851 and the other an 1858. I have ordered parts from VTIgunparts.com before, and while the prices where good, their shipping was too slow. Any suggestions?

Just wanted to share a few thoughts on the Buffalo 125 gr. connical round in a 1851 navy. Loading: Was a pain! 1. The bullets would not fit under the ram, so I had to take the cylinder out and start one, then put it back in for the finnishing touch. If I had a bench loader this wouldn't...
