What is the density of Goex FFFg or where could I look it up? I need to know how much powder (in grains) is needed to completely fill my "patent chamber" (0.06 in3). So if I just knew what the grains per cubic inch were of black powder . . . Steve in North Texas

So I read up all the threads I could about casting, googled up some expert advice, bought the equipment, and it finally stopped raining last night. 1) I bought the Lee Production Pot IV cause I'm casting .36 cal RB; don't need a lot of capcity, right? Guess what- the ingots I bought for...

Gurus: So there are umpty-odd flavors of nipples. My Pietta New Army revolver has one kind with a different thread, diameter, etc. than my Pedersoli Carleton Underhammer. 1) What is the taxonomy/classification system for nipples? What are the different types? 2) How would one...

Gurus: In trying to "adjust" the front sight blade on my Pietta built 1858 New Army (you guessed it) the blade broke off. No great loss (!) but I would like to replace it. Checked out Dixie Gun Works and a couple of others . . . "dovetail" mount front sights always come up. This is a...
