Heh, that may be why black powder guns are no longer so popular. . .

Still popular for home defense in non-free non-American places around the world
 Why?  Because it worked in the 1800s and it works now  This post has been edited by mirocu: Aug 17 2016, 01:52 PM -------------------- Lol bird

It's a lot easier to load and clean modern firearms so sales on the old designs have slowed. Many old designs eventually die. Very few persist beyond a few decades. The 1911 (which I'm sure you know well) , Hi Power, and a few com bloc guns being the exception. -------------------- He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster.

I would love having a 1911, such a classic! And a .45 Colt Peacemaker. And a MP5. And an AK-47.
Blimey. How long does it take to become an American citizen because I´m seriously considering it now  -------------------- Lol bird

QUOTE(mirocu @ Aug 17 2016, 07:43 AM)  Nice day yesterday evening, so out I went once again with six loaded chambers. Had to find out why I was missing the target so much last time. Turns out the rumors I´d heard about the Remington 1858 were true: it prints really high. I guess it´s because so they could shoot longer distances, what with black powder not being so powerful. I increased my distance to the target and held well below (into the ground under it) and then I started to get hits on the upper part of said target. It really prints high  After that I loaded up six more, but this time I had a misfire. The cap went off but the ball stayed in the chamber. I heavily suspect it was becuase of my excess lubrication after last time´s cleaning. This time I was more careful not to drench vital parts in oil. Anyway, with a new cap the ball flew out and all was well. Don´t have more than three balls left now and only one patch (that goes between the powder and the ball) so no more shooting for now. Probably not until next year, if even then. I´ll soon have a new toy to toy with  (I know, saw from the nearby trees) Those guns became extinct for a reason; it is called blown up hands and faces! Use extreme care with that gun. -------------------- |

Extreme care is taken, I assure you Guns blown up usually happens when you load a black powder gun with modern smokeless powder which has a much higher pressure curve that the gun is not designed to handle. Normal loads with black powder or black powder substitute combined with proper precautions and use, the risk is quite low. I use real black powder and I always cap all loaded chambers and grease the front so there´s no risk of a spark entering another chamber when firing. I also have a thick patch between the powder and the ball so in essence I´m really doing everything I possibly can to prevent accidents. Which is all I can really do -------------------- Lol bird

MY FLIPPIN´ LICENSE HAS ARRIVED!!!
But we won´t go down there and get it until Monday I think because the weekend rush is unbelievable. I mean, last time we went was on a Tuesday and when the doors opened we had a long cue behind us. On a Tuesday, at a shop in the friggin nowhere! But now I have the license and I´ll soon have my little cowboy gun! Or as lever guns are known in Tennessee: New Jersey assault rifles  -------------------- Lol bird
