    Phase 2 and conclusions (vague) Comparing grapefruit to oranges/Plains Pistol.

    Top loads using black powder in modern large caliber revolvers

    Uberti also began using a shorter cylinder in the later years of this gun so that a cartridge cylinder could not fi into the gun without modifying the barrel and forcing cone.

    Top loads using black powder in modern large caliber revolvers

    Your opinion here carries more weight than you probably realize. You’re one of the OG’s… So, anyway, yes, I do work from a bench until I know what potential a revolver or rifle has and what the preferred loads are. These cap guns, and I’m including the Colts here (tiny sights be damned) because...

    Top loads using black powder in modern large caliber revolvers

    I’ve always used the Walters wads from Buffalo Arms, .030” thickness and firmly believe they are at least an important piece of the load chain. The base of the bullet steers the bullet and the wad protects the base of the bullet.

    Kibler range report

    I’ve done that with cedar arrows before, I used lacquer sealer and soaked the shafts for at least a couple weeks. If you spend a lot of time sorting and grading you’ll end up with weight matched HEAVY port orford cedar arrows. it’s a huge pain in the neck. Especially once I remodeled an old...

    New Goex powder vs. the Old Goex powder

    In bullet shooting rifles (heavy bullets, paper patched or grease grooved) it makes a difference. Typically the bores are smaller, charges are heavier and patent breeches are necessary. These rifles are used for longer ranges, and the shooters require a higher degree of accuracy. All this means...

    Hopkins and Allen XL 8 Takedown and Parts

    Those are interesting revolvers. I assume they were a budget priced alternative to Colt and S&W big bore guns?

    Kibler range report

    A novice shooter came to me looking for advice on shooting blackpowder rifles since I was the only guy in the area using them. I showed him the ropes and he shot a bit behind the house. He was getting the hang of things when suddenly he said, “uhoh.“ He was so excited about shooting the next...

    Kibler range report

    Comparing Apples to Grapefruit. (Plains Pistol, heavy loads/.50" and .54")

    One Of my Uncles and his kids all love mules, not so much for cow work but they pack dudes all spring, summer and fall. Most of their best pack animals and some of their riding stock are mules. The good ones are very good. One of the local guys uses goats for all of his camping and hunting. He’s...

    Comparing Apples to Grapefruit. (Plains Pistol, heavy loads/.50" and .54")

    Maybe find a dimwitted acquaintance to carry stuff into the woods, or a goat or even a mule. Watch the mules though, they’re a lot smarter than most of the people who own them.

    Comparing Apples to Grapefruit. (Plains Pistol, heavy loads/.50" and .54")

    I’m betting on the fifty if velocity is nearly equal. For softer skinned targets the .54 would have the edge. Maybe load that barrel as well and stow it in the possible bag? 😎
