Post by **Mike 56** » 01 Nov 2013 22:14

I enjoy shooting black powder I have a TC 36cal and a 54cal White Mountain Carbine, CVA 45 cal Kentucky rifle and a 50cal Bobcat.

Cap and ball revolvers Walker Colt also have a 45 Colt cylinder for it, 1860 Colt army, Remington New Model Army, two brass frame 44 cal 1851 Colts, 31 cal 1849 Pocket Revolver.

I like shooting all of them my two favorite two to are is the 1860 Colt Army and the 54cal TC White Mountain Carbine.

I shoot a lot of black powder but not cap and ball but cartridge type guns. I shoot most of mine through 1 of 3 1873 Colt SAA Uberti, Rossi 92 and a 12 ga mule eared side x side shot gun. I've also shot about 50 45-70 through my RG just for giggles. I used to own a pair of cap and ball Colts one the Navy model the other an Army. Fun to shoot but not as much fun as the cartridge guns to me.

I just started as the 209 inline 50 Cal was part of a Rossi Single Shot Matched Pair with the other barrel being a 12 Gauge Rifled Slug barrel.

I have shot PRB and loose fff in inlines but buying some of those sabots that you can shoot cast pistol bullets might ticket. Lots of fun to shoot and easy on your pocket book. Your Rossi is a sweet looking rifle.

I have shot both of the Lee Real home cast bullets, the 250 & 320-gain bullets. The shoot very well. I do have some Hornady sabots for my TLC432-350-RF. This is a 350-grain bullet for the 444 Marlin. Here it sits on 100-grains of Triple 7.

I have a package with 7 bullets still in it for 50 cal. They are Powerbelt Aerotip jacketed, and I have no idea where I got them. I will mail them to anyone that has a need for them. If so PM me with your mailing info.
