Some may remember a few months where I showed a lady friend the pleasure of firearms by showing her & then having her shoot my Lyman Trade Rifle .50 cal. & my Pietta NMA w/ 5.5" barrel .44 cal..
Well ever since then she's been on a mission to find her self a few black powder firearms & her first one that she put money on is a Remington copy "picture looks to be Uberti" in .36 cal..
She was torn between that or the steel framed Pietta 1851 Navy .44 cal but she said that the 1858 felt better in her hand, her goal is to shoot up to 50 yards with it & wasn't sure if a .36 ball would make it that far, I reassured her that it can by telling her my experience with a 51' Navy in .36 cal. hitting a 100 yard shot "at the time I wasn't sure the ball would make it that far but Dad told me to aim for the top of the target which I did & it hit the bottom of the outer ring."
After that she decided to get her the 1858 in .36 cal. & a .375 ball mold for it.
Just wanted to share this.
