[Black powder or substitute?]

 Shotgun load is 1/8" nitro wad over powder, then a 1/2" lubed fiber wad and the plastic cup from a modern wad.

Shoots clean, no melted plastic and no buildup in the bores.

[Black powder or substitute?]

 Apple Annie and I have been using the real stuff since about 2001.  Always have used coated bullets of some sort, molly or the newer colored ones with no problems but developed my own way of loading.  Fiber wad on top of powder, grease cookie, a hard card wad and the bullet.

Works for every caliber we shoot including big bore.

We can shoot an entire two day match including sides with no fussing with the guns.

Just my $.02.

If wifey looked like that and I was young enough to do anything about it reloading and shooting would be pretty far down my list of activities.

 I am absolutely impressed that at your age you actually remember such things.

🇺🇸 With thanks in no small part to my good friend Dawg, a very understanding wife, a checking account that could absorb the expenditure and the legendary Colorado Coffinmaker, I have finally ventured into the realm of percussion pistols.  These are two of the sweetest shooters that I have ever handled.  Coffinmaker is a true artist within his craft.  Just ordered a Polish Capper and a nipple wrench.  The purchase included a Tower of Power and 700 Hornady lead balls.  Now need to find locally some Remington #10 caps.  I have been shooting BP categories for years so the powder is on hand.  

These are the first Pietta manufactured pistols I have owned.  Look to be very well made.

WooHoo, can't wait to try these babies out!

Regards, Chas B

P.S. I have traditionally favored longer barrels.  
This will be fun.

 Has anyone heard from him?

He had a long run selling Damascus blade knives on the classifieds.  Nice knives at a very fair price.

I have not seen a post from him in a fairly long time.
