a1rstreamer Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 No problem with semi-auto, but would I be able to also do revolver with a cap & ball (takes time to load)?

Head Out - HOP Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hello a1rstreamer, I’m not sure what a revolver with a cap and ball is. Can you expand on that more for me, please? Thanks for your help.

a1rstreamer Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi Lisa, I have a replica of an 1858 Remington New Army Service made by Pietta - see http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/pietta-1860-army-revolver-1861-navy-revolver-parts.html for the design. See: Instead of having cartridges (some refer to as bullets), it is hand-loaded by measuring the powder and dropping it into the cylinder, followed by a felt wad, which is tamped down, followed by a lead ball, which is also tamped down. Then the primers, which are caps that fit over a steel nipple are pushed on and the entire cylinder is put back into the frame - - then it is ready to fire. It can take 15 minutes just to load the 6 rounds. Trailer = 1987 Airstream Excella 32' Truck = 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
