Greetings from Southern California
« on: May 27, 2020, 08:23:32 PM »
Hello all,

Went from 0 black powder guns to a pair of them in just under a week. I started by picking up a Remington 1858. It’s a nice gun I like it a lot. After buying all the extras you need for black powder shooting I said  to myself “ I can’t have all this stuff for just one gun”. So I decided to pick up a colt navy in .36 cal. I love how involved black powder shooting is, it’s not just load and shoot. Tomorrow will be my first outing with my Remington, my colt is in the mail and I won’t get to shoot it until next week. I’ll let you guys know how it does.
