Depends on the individual. How big is he? Good/stable stance? You can download 38s with a light bullet so there is minimal recoil. Check the mfg catalogs to compare weights between 22 and 38 rifles. Just a thought, BS

With regard to shooting black powder: make it easy by shooting a BP substitute such as American Pioneer Powder. It does not become corrosive the way BP does and you'll still make plenty of smoke. Just my 2 cents, BS

Old Armies take a .457 ball. BS

Look at the chart that compares caps. Height and diameter are the two biggest items. As for nipples; try the factory nipples and if they work ... I swapped over to Slix nipples. Just cause. Check your manual for what caps are recommended with the factory nipples. Luck, BS

I checked the Cal-Ranch here in Tucson. They do have CCI #11s in stock, at $22.99 per tin. I left empty handed. BS

Gunfighter, Duelist, Frontiersman, basically any category can be subdivided into age brackets. The rules for firearms revert to the base category (Gunfighter, Frontiersman, etc). BS

I knew it was one or the other. Ya gotta give me a little break, I retired 31 years ago. Boy am I getting old, BS

I've eaten in the mess decks, Chief's mess, and ward room. Of the three I'd pick the Chief's mess every time. Did you know that officers had to pay for their meals (I believe it was at sea only). And you paid whether you ate or not. Never did have to do the mess crank gig. Was always in a billet that was too important to be pulled from. Good memories and bad. BS

We shot with the Kiwi group last weekend in Tombstone. A great bunch and FAST. Enjoy yourselves, Barry Sloe and Trizzlee

I was stopped when it said "scan this to get in line". I don't scan things. Guess I don't have to wait in line. BS

Back in the early 80s I was "Galley Master at Arms" at a shore station in Hawaii. After one of the special meals for one of the many heritage months, I asked the Senior Chief in charge "When are we having white history month with steak and potatoes?" The look that I got was not pretty. BS

You may want to add what revolver/s these fit. BS

76 here this afternoon. BS

When I called to check on getting a veterans pass, the gentleman on the other end told me to look closely at the benefits of each pass. I ended up going with the Senior Lifetime Pass. It had more perks. Your mileage may vary, BS

When I joined the Navy in 1974 I was getting $383/month. When you average in 16 hour days, while at sea, it doesn't amount to much. The military couldn't afford to pay hourly wages. BS

Would you send me that website? Thanks, Barry Sloe

The value should be no less than what it would cost to repair or replace it. BS

I PM'd my phone number so we can set up the meet. BS

You may want to look at the duel fuel models. If you run strictly on propane you won't be messing up the carburetor. BS

I have a pair of OM Vaqueros in 44 magnum that I shoot regularly. However, I load them with 44 Russian rounds. Plenty of smoke and manageable recoil. BS

Add to that a free-standing, wood burning stove. It might be localized heat, but something is better than nothing. BS

I'll bite. What does "Texas Tornado Style" mean? Thanks, BS

I think that if I lived back in that area I would invest in a generator. Probably wouldn't get used much, but when needed would be priceless. BS
