I get the importance of the message of not mixing up smokeless and black powder(especially in cap and ball as well as muzzle loaders) but this is a disservice if you dont mention the type or amount of smokeless powder that was used. Even the sturdiest modern gun will explode if using a much faster burning powder so the real lesson is really about knowing what psi your load will produce. as evidence of this there are many late 1800s revolvers that switched over to smokless loads with no ill effects, eg french mas 1873, french 1892, colt 1892, webley mark 1-4, swiss ord revolver 1882, Swedish nagant 1887, 1895 nagant, and 44 russian S&W double action. the truth is that although more dangerous, smokeless powder can be used in many cartridge revolvers when psi is within the rated range for black powder. there is a misconception that black powder loads are always less psi than smokeless which is untrue, and it is simply that smokeless powder has more variability in its burn rate and so requires measurement. both powders need pressure in order to push a projectile and there is no way a colt 1873 can push 524 foot pounds with black powder without exceeding 10k psi which was its original loading.

You said the 1875 was a beefed up 1873, Thats wrong it was a 1876 that came in 45-60 and many more. Later replaced by te 1886. Thanks Texas.

i don't understand why pedersoli made this "1874 quigley" model with metallic cartridges, while Quigley originaly used a modified 1863 sporting model STILL with paper cartridges. Why they do not made the EXACTLY SAME model ?

I hunt with a 1863 Pedersoli using linen, paper, and paper tube cartridges in 54 caliber. I have found that homemade cardboard tubes are relatively easy to make and are superior hunting cartridges compared to paper, linen or even laquered linen cartridges. Not historcally correct but with accurate powder charges and no filler, they deliver accuracy equal to what i can get with any opensighted rifle -regardless of chambering. Good work on the channel.

Very interesting video content, thank you! P.S. I found the Billy Dixon story ( 15:43 ) even more interesting after figuring out the distances. In case anyone is unfamiliar with fractions or yards and miles I thought I would include them in meters: 7/8 (0.875) of a mile is 1540 yards, or 1408.176 meters; The military measurement was 1538 yards, or 1407.347 meters; 3/4 (0.75) of a mile is 1320 yards, or 1207.008 meters; 1200 yards is 1097.28 meters; As we can see, it would seem the hunter Billy Dixon was becoming more modest with in his estimate with the passing of years. While the military measure is quite remarkably close to his original estimate.

One must remember that all militaries are to one degree or another resistant to change. For a very long time the bayonet was considered the real battle decider. The Henry could not take a bayonet and that alone made a lot of Generals and such reluctant to issue it to infantry.

This is amazing, though now I wish I could see the same process but for the rifle from scratch. And I mean true scratch. "Refine the steel from the ore" kind of scratch. And with no power tools.

I love your channel, I'm from Indiana, USA and have been in the past a bird hunter, because I could afford hunting birds and I own several 16 gage shot guns. (one brand new one I've never shot) 16 gage because I'm a small person and 12 gages bruise me. However, we've had some really heavy snows here that have killed the ground birds and our state isn't interested in restocking them. I haven't heard a quail in many years. I'd love to get into cap and ball shooting. But I don't even know what gun I should purchase for my first gun.

I have one and I get pretty great accuracy like you did . I shoot Orange shotgun target clays off a berm no problem at 100 yards. That was some outstanding shooting you did at 100 meters. Great Job! Incredible group! I reload my own cartridges as well. Makes it a lot more satisfying when you get accuracy like that!

I have a new Winchester 1886 45-70, it is amazingly accurate, and the quality far exceeds the Winchester of the 70's & 80's. The modern 1886 Winchester is a rifle one would be proud to hand down to someone!

These things are more a novelty item that look cool in movies but are not very practical to shoot. The stock comb is too high, the butt plate is made on a very small radius that won't fit any adult, subsequently jabbing you in the shoulder with either the toe or heel. Your face is too close to the cylinder so you get a blast in the face every shot. Buy a real revolver or a lever gun if you want to enjoy shooting it.

Is there any Pedersoli 1886 with traditional straight (English) grip, and full length magazine? I just do not like the way it looks, way too modern looking for me. Balázs, I don't know where is the "EU project" going currently, but there were suggestions that ALL lead projectiles should be banned (and some sources even said the same about the copper). If - and I would love to say "if" and not "when" - this nonsense ban come into life, what kind of rifle calibers would stay and what kind of rifle calibers would go? These old style calibers, like the .45-70 Goverment could survive in the new lead (and maybe copper) free era? Hopefully this all nonsense projections will be burried forever and nothing go through and come to life.

WHY HAS NO COMPANY REMAKE THIS DAMN PISTOL IN 9mm in 2024. The closest I got to one was 8000$ for a c96 that the bore was smooth it was so rusted and old, it was sold for 8000$ as a “parts kit” in case someone had a c96 and would need some extra parts. Damnit give me money to open a shop, I’ll make bank selling new c96 at a normal price. Even if it was 2000$ and I would be laughing to the bank, I bet they would still be sold out I could never keep up with the demand.
