Projectiles / Which round ball for Pietta Army?
« on: February 08, 2021, 04:16:03 PM »
So. I am new to the black powder pistol scene though ive been shooting black powder in my Great Plains quite some time. Some people say to shoot .451 round balls in my Army, others say .454 is better. How do I know which is right for my Pietta?

What is different about the polish capper than an inline or snail capper? I use an inline on my Great Plains with few issues, but there is always room for a better mouse trap in my possibles bag.  :-\

Powder / Pyrodex?
« on: February 08, 2021, 12:32:44 PM »
Along with my purchase of the Pietta 1860 Army, I also got from the gent 1 full pound of Pyrodex "P" and another half empty lb. I know nothing about Pyrodex. Is it OK to shoot? He said he could not get black powder, and when I checked online sites every one seems to be out of real black powder. If this stuff is OK I'd like to use it up.

Hi, everybody. New to the forum but not black powder. Just picked up a gently used Pietta 1860 Army and looking to learn as much as I can about it.
