Hello guys!
I pressed .451 conical bullet into one chamber of my Colt 1860 Army but it was exteremely wet and humid so my colt haven't fired
Cap ignited well but black powder and bullet still in the chamber. I've tried several caps and after all decided to disassemble revolver, remove nipples and black powder to avoid sudden fire.
So at this moment I have cylinder with conical bullet inside.
I failed to press it out (usind my own efforts) by metal stick from the nipple side of the cylinder's chamber
I want to try the same with hammer but I'm afraid to damage the chamber surface
What is the best way to release bullet without damages to the cylinder?
:banghead:
P.S. I suppose the bullet could be fired if I fill the chamber with BP from the nipple side but I think it could be quite dangerous during loading and assembling. I want to find safe mechanical issue
