The day is young, get with the program. Its nice having ability to literally make your own projectiles AND propellant in a pinchI have never owned a black powder gun, but I certainly appreciate them.
@Daryll I believe you may fall in love as I did many years ago. The cap n ball revolver is pure joy for me, it checks many pleasure boxes the pure mechanical beauty, the ability to experiment with each chamber loaded as an individual with various powder combinations round ball or conical 2f or 3f , black powder vs substitutes etc endless fun. Flash BOOM SMOKE is hard to not get addicted to. My 1851 .36 is one of the most accurate pistols ive ever shot , using 175 yr old technology to embarass other shooters is very satisfying. And the knowledge that should modern cartridges be unavailable the ability to create projectiles and fuel at home is also nice( and yes even percussion caps can be made using aluminum cans )
I hope it gives you as much enjoyment as it does me, heck I even enjoy the clean up.
Where did you pick that up from. Im still needing to scratch the itch. Youtuber Dualist1954 or something like that has several videos on upgrading those for reliability. I watched a bunch last winter when I was bored.This showed up on my doorstep this afternoon.View attachment 24043
Uberti 1861 Navy .36 caliber. Needless to say, I have a lot to learn.

just go ahead and grab a mold , wads and quick tubes, extra bore butter till ya decide to make your own , if a nipple wrench didnt come with pistol get one also.I have never owned a black powder gun, but I certainly appreciate them.
I had not heard of that. Is that because of the greater time-in-barrel of the slower .38 that causes more elevation increase [flip] at exit that causes its higher trajectory?(... I do wonder whether the extra velocity will lower the groups... like when you shoot .357 through a .38 zeroed gun.. the magnums shoot lower..)

You can punch own wads but for the price I dont mind buying em, I buy unlubed and if I want em lubed its easy to do. Enjoy experienceenting. Be safe have fun
