I have a question. I am thinking about purchasing a Colt 1892 .38 long colt revolver. My question is, when did manufacturers switch to smokeless powder for their products? Should I shoot black powder ammo in it, or is moderm ammo ok?
There is a bp substitute that is not corrosive I think. Can't remember the name, it has been awhile since I read about it.....enjoy.....chris3
Cast your own (if you can), and use "butter lead." Don't even think of using tire weights, fishing weights, etc. They contain tin to stiffen the metal and will ream out the bore in short order.Also, make sure the bullets are dead soft lead.
