Thank you, your video was very informative. I'm excited to soon be embarking on my cap-n-ball journey, looking to purchase my all-time favorite, the 1858 Remington. Liked, subscribed and ambitiously following!
Could you do a video on powder pellets
Well, I subscribed.
Thanks Dustin, very well done and helpful.
I am near Ogden, where should I go for such supplies?
I recommend if you are going to get heavy to C&B revolvers, get multiple cylinders and a bench top loader. I like to have 4 extra per revolver. This was a common practice during the uncivil war amongst mounted soldiers, as it was easier and faster to swap cylinders, especially when mounted. Upgrade the nipples for sure, and at least give conical balls a try as well (I use them exclusively).
Great video! Especially for those just getting started with C&B revolver shooting!!!
Where the actual hell is anyone finding black powder at lately
I am from Italy just bought my first cap and ball 1860 army uberti and I love it I hope to find the powder and caps to try it soon!
I will follow your channel a lot as I did even before buying it.
New to black powder, so I appreciate all the info. Thank you
So basically I’m looking at spending quite a bit of money to get started with black powder pewpews. That’s a lot of stuff to buy 😲 lol 😂
I challenge you to tell us where we can buy #10 Remington percussion caps.
Every place I have checked they are out of stock. The only ones I have seen are made for BP rifles.
Just had a chance to shoot several cap & ball guns! Really FUN! Your videos for beginners are SUPER HELPFUL! Gene
great vidio sir was very good thank you
Nice. Thanks.
Just found you. And I bookmarked your store page. I plan on getting some products from you.
I 've been a Civil War re enactor for over 39 yrs. and have seen it all. I shoot a Whitneyville Walker .44 cal. .When I shoot a ( live round ) AT THE SHOOTING RANGE I load as usual, powder ,ball, then wax. As for the WAX , the BEST wax that I have found is ( ready for this ) toilet seal wax ring . Sounds funky , but this wax is the best sealer I have ever used and it wont melt under extreme heat. Just go to any store that has plumbing and pick up a new wax ring . this ring will last for a long time .
I took the plunge and ordered one of your 36 caliber kits. I can't wait to start making cartridges. Had to go to the Pyrodex though, no real BP anywhere. I did find myself a 36 Griswold & Gunnison Pistol as well!
Bore butter is crap, don't waste your money.
Kind Thanks and good shootin! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Id love to hear anyone out there on shooting bp shotguns like to hear anybodys experience with them
How safe are they?
I use krisco in my revolver no issue.
I would only go with the 44 caliber. If you live in a restrictive state. Or you made a mistake in your past and all you can own is. Blackpowder guns and God forbid you how to use it for self defense. The 36 caliber would Make your attacker very angry.
This powder is more fffinely grated than a regular fine powder)
Good video! Straightforward, concise, informative.
Thank you sir.
Couldn't find actual perc. caps so i had to get one of those kits to make them out of soda cans. Time consuming and wont work well with cappers, but definitely better than nothing
I purchased many cans FF Goex back in the 80s here and there in the metal cans and still have around 7 pounds in the old metal cans. Back then it was 7 bucks a pound.
Guy, if you are shooting your cap and ball revolvers, just where are you getting your caps? I haven't been able to buy them in over 2 years locally or online. Do you have a secret source? Maybe I should try making my own!
10:51 I don’t trust anyone or anything that doesn’t know how to properly grip my nips 😂
Real good advice. Thanks for producing this video. I'm real new to this whole cap & ball thing, as in just took possession of my first revolver today. Got all the accessories necessary but had to order caps online as they were not available in my area stores anyplace. Paid an exorbitant price but there were none other available. Same thing with black powder. None of that available, had to go with Pyrodex and as it was, got the last jar in stock at Bass Pro.
I'd love to get into cap and ball shooting but I can't find caps anywhere. I'm hesitant to drop the money on a revolver if I'm going to have trouble finding caps
I am trying to catch up to all of your videos. I began shooting single-shot percussion pistols a while back and finally took the leap to percussion revolvers beginning with a Uberti 1851 Colt Navy. I now have a (almost) complete set of (key) percussion revolvers: the Colt Paterson being the last want of the series. I am slowly going through each revolver to update the cones. The Uberti 1858 Remington conversion revolver was really what made me to decide to explore the percussion revolver world. I am more at home with these revolvers than with many of my more modern revolvers and pistols. Great content, by the way!
What's the difference between a black powder 44 revolver and a modern revolver? Other than the obvious.
I've had the whole pandemic to get hooked in by watching probably hundreds of hours of videos about percussion revolvers. I even got to renew my license, that I let expire a decade ago (it lasts 5 years here in Italy) when I stopped doing target shooting competitions.
I was quite sure about the Remington 1858 NMA, but lately I've grown fond of the '51 Army, especially the London model. I love octagonal barrels and I like the idea of a small, agreeable yet accurate and less expensive caliber like the .36, being used to a .22 carbine (50 meters / 55 yards) and a 4,5 mm Olympic air rifle (10 meters / 11 yards).
A few days ago my pesky girlfriend told me she likes the 1861 better. Now I can't decide anymore which one I should get: the 1851 or the 1861?
