My brother bought some Pyrodex pellets formed in 30 grain pellets. Can these be used in a revolver? Any tips for loading?
Open the ends and see if one has 4f in there.They do not appear to have any starting compound.
WOW ~ Pyrodex "tracers"!!!
Assuming that the chamber doesn't have any significant irregularities from one end to the other. If there are any irregularities at the chamber mouth then there may not be a good seal between the ball, in its final position, and the chamber.No wadding is needed on revolvers. When you seat the ball, the cylinder shears off a small amount of lead, effectively making the ball the exact caliber of the weapon.
