I use APP FFG. Not true black, no flame. Use only moderate powder loads as they seem to produce plenty of smoke as illustrated in this video.
I use APP in my 25.20, nice and smokey......

Here's one from many years ago at Cavern Cove. Been posted before, but quite awhile back.
Thats right.

Cemetery,
You WOULD think so, but it isn't the case. Not sure why, but even the Chiappa manual shows the top shell set back from the bottom.

I'll give this a try, maybe staggering forward might have been my issue this year.

I see a Crown Royal Rye in Christmas present displays. Is it any good? Remember I am an Irish drinker.
I enjoy it, nice and smooth.

Glenlivet? Yuck......
Lagavulin is my elixir.

Henry Big Boy?
Never heard of this....you mean the Uberti 1860 or 1866?

I just received my latest brace of '51 conversions fresh from engraving by Kelly Laster. Check out the engraved hammers!
Lovely Tame Bill, absolutely lovely!!

I may go back to smokeless. Sportsmans Warehouse is out of BlackMZ.
Oh man, why even get out of bed?
For a nice BP substitute, I recommend APP. I use in my 25.20, and on occasion cap & ball gunz.
Easy loading, easy cleanup. Capt Baylor always posts sales information when he gets it, here in the forum.

A lot has been written about the Henry Big Boy rifles on the SASS Wire. I even started one myself back on May 30, 2016 entitled “Pros and Cons of the Henry Big Boy rifles” with over 2,605 views and 56 replies, both good and bad.
That thread should be pinned at the top of this forum!

What do you recommend I get to make the 1861 Navy sing?
I've got a brace of Uberti 1860's, and followed these instructions, even though they're for Pietta, Larsen Pettifogger wrote them up about eight years ago;

There's also the video Bottom Dealing Mike has on his YouTube page discussing smoothing out the hammer to prevent 'cap sucking'......easy alternative to 'cap posts' or other modifications such as what Long Hunter Shooting Supply is offering.

Ran across a handful of Henry BB shooters over the years, None of them had problems, rifle ran smooth and respectable. And they all had big smiles.

What? That's almost unAmerican. Go get and watch it.
Are you still sitting there? Go get it NOW!!!
Hey Robert Mitchum is in El Dorado!!!!
You shoulda told me Forty Rod!

+1 for Northern tool. However they wouldn't hold air for more than a couple weeks. Put Green Slime in 'em and that clogged the valves making re-filling impossible. Discovered the valve was the source of the leak even with a new stem insert. Resolved by using metal caps with a small "O" ring inside---haven't added air in over a year. I got the 16" ones and they roll nice over bumpy terrain.
This is my problem, where did you source your metal caps with the O rings?

How 'bout the bartender in The Shootist?
Or the cute girl in El Dorado?
Haven't seen The Shootist in decades, and not familiar with El Dorado........

I own three of them, and I can tell you from experience that they were not 'ahead of their time'. They were simply an alternative design for a cartridge revolver because S&W had all the patents sewn up for Top Breaks. Not so incredibly precise to machine either, as many seem to think.
My hat will be off to any company that can produce them, for they were a truly unique design. But I gotta tell ya, it is quicker to reload a Top Break than it is to reload a Merwin.
A few years ago I was able to get a hold of an original in 44.40 for an affordable price, for what they are, with found money I had.......turns out it had mismatching numbers (whatever, I don't care), and from what I've read, this is most likely assembled in the 1890s from parts left overs (again I don't care)..........
That being said, comparing it to the Colt Peacemaker, and the S&W Schofield, it does seem over engineered for what it is, and it's time. On the surface, Colt seems minimalisc in design, S&W has more bulk, but a quick top break to dump spent shells, and the MH has sliding loading gates, frame twisting for dumping spent shells, all kinds of nook and crannies for fouling to get into......ugh.
Unique design? Hells yeah! .....but seemingly over engineered.
I'm not a firearm historian specialist, but how it all seems to me.

Wasn't Bruce Dern the only guy to shoot John Wayne in the back?
I'm not a John Wayne or the highway fan of his, but after that, I wanted to punch Bruce Dern in the face, even if it was 40 years after the movie!

Hey Lead Ringer- I'll twist Brimstone Bill's post and say gear up next year in time for a "Limited Edition" red and green Christmas bullet Collectors Set! It would be all the rage!
You'll need some pink ones before October for Breast Cancer month.

Now these are good ideas!!

I firmly believe that gunfighers should only shoot against other gunfighters. That's why they have their own categories.
You forget B Western can be shot gunfighter, duelist, or two handed.......and they all compete against each other.

Any Main Match revolver. Revolvers may be shot in any SASS–legal shooting style, except Gunfighter.

I've been thinking of using 3" shells for my SxS just so I can get more powder in...........
