Well this is the first time I’ve ever posted a message on a forum. So please be gentle with me!!!!!!!
I am an ex-pat who moved to France a few years ago. I’ve applied for my ‘Permit de Tir’, French Firearms Cert., and you have to be a member of a club for 6 months before you can buy centre fire handguns. You are allowed to use a 22lr rifle or a BP weapon till your 6 months is up.
SO……I’ve bought my first BP pistol, it’s a Pietta 44 Remington. I’ve looked at lots of other sites (not as good as this one) and I’m after some advice.
So I’ll get to the point.
When you load is it best to pre-lube the ball with something?
Any words of cautions with cleaning products?
Is any one powder better than another?
Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated.
