Thanks Justin! Lol, it happens but it's no big deal at the end of the day

Why is Swiss powder so energetic?

@@twistedyogert Because of the way it is made.

Absolutely! That's my goal- to make informative and enjoyable reviews. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!! You're going to like January's video where we've got 2 .36 cal revolvers going head to head for velocity & penetration!

Haha, thanks for watching the videos!!

Sure does, such a cool little revolver!

Based on what I've seen in my experience here, you will like them!

It's almost as good looking as a Remington!

It is an effective little gun with the conicals!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you Sean for sending over the bullets for the video!!

I will have to try that. In the past, I was apprehensive about using 4F in a revolver, but I'm curious to give it a go.

@@blackpowdershooter44 I usually replace stock nipples with quality after market nipples having the proper very tiny flash holes used on original Colt, Remington and other revolvers. The tiny flash holes minimize blow-back, preventing cap jams, and also prevent the fine-grained 4Fg from dribbling thru nipples with too large flash holes. The fine powder dribbling thru a nipple and coating the breech area sets up a possible chain fire. The proper nipples prevent the dribble-thru of fine powders during loose loading. For constructing revolver combustible cartridges , I use Swiss Null B powder, an extremely fine grain 5Fg powder, which would be very close to the Hazard Cartridge powder provided for making revolver combustible cartridges in the 19th Century. With the very fine grain powder contained in the paper powder envelope, there is no danger of powder dribble thru when loading. Thanks for your video work, and Safe Shooting!

I wonder the same thing. Did not expect as much from the little .31. Thanks for watching!

It did do well; I like the bullet. The 1862 models are nice guns, I've held them before and was surprised at how small they are compared to a Navy.

Yes it’s a small one but really cool, way smaller than my 1851 Navy and 1858 Remington by far, I was surprised when I shot it I was thinking it would have much more recoil because of its smaller size, I upped the grains from 15 to 20 grains of Pyrodex and it was still an easy shooter, I’ve since slicked up the action on it and installed Slixshot nipples on it and my 1851, now I need to test it again and see if I get less cap jams, I also polished the hammer face to help increase its reliability as well, we’ll see the next time I take them to the range

@@DeucesWildRC Awesome. I would like to get one one day, 20 grains in that little gun isn't bad at all.

I have one of the 1862 pocket police's and I would absolutely recommend the .390 diameter Conicles from Mark hubs "eras gone" they're 147grain and you get a huge ring of lead when you seat the bullet.

Jumpkickman what grain of powder charge are you using in your 1862 with conicals? And which conical? The Richmond lab?

Grafs and sons black. I like it for target shooting, but when it comes to performance tests Pyro P always finds a way of outperforming.

I agree, however with too much compression on T7, the results have been all over the place for me in the past, so I generally prefer real black or Pyro P. It's difficult to seat the projectile lightly on the powder when the cylinder is loaded off the revolver.

@@blackpowdershooter44 that's absolutely true I've done some velocity readings and with less triple seven and less compression I get better velocities and normal goex3f but pyrodex P usually outperforms both of them

I have 2 Ubertis, and besides cap jams, they work well and seem to be of high quality.

@@blackpowdershooter44 have nine cap&ball revolvers seven are uberti one is Pietta and one 1860 Colt. All are well made with the normal issues you get from BP revolvers.

Thanks haha! I haven't tried the Kerr bullet, after checking a quick google search it looks like an interesting design and I'm sure it gives good power and penetration.

Perhaps, but I don't want to risk it!

It's likely similar

Interesting observation. I prefer to load these little revolvers off the gun anyway, perhaps that would help with yours. Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks!

That probably would be beneficial, yes. Thanks for watching!

I have actually not tried that so I could not tell you for sure

They are made by Mark hubbs: www.erasgonebullets.com/

Thanks just emailed but it looks like he just sells molds. Not really interested in casting them. Just want to buy some. Thnks

Yeah what's wrong with that guy

No, just the balls used are oversized in a .45 diameter (.451", .454", .457") so that there is a tight seal when the ball is pressed into the chamber, at which time they are brought down to a .44 diameter

Power was displayed in the video, but for powder: the cylinder cannot hold more than 15 grains, and I filled up each chamber when loading so thus the 15 grain estimate.

what

I have a box available for sale and recently made a video featuring it. So, you can keep your opinion
