I shoot fast with smokeless loads and slow with bp. The fast is to get practice and the fun of it. The bp is slow so that I can fully experience the smoke, fire, noise of the old loads. It's all fun and this is my favorite sport to do!

I'm pretty sure I have one in all of my junk. My problem used to be that of finding it in my junk. Now the problem is rememoring any thing !! (including spelling)

His real name is Jimmie Ragan, and lives around close to Canton Texas. He is short in stature but he is equal to any man because he love's life and being around others.

I'm looking for this gentleman, has anyone heard or know about him?? When you get old, and hear about so many old friends going to their reward you sometimes wants to know if some are still around. You get old and get to forgetting to keep up with them, but anyway, has anyone heard about my pard Old Jim??

Howdy pards, I don't have any for sale or trade, just my 2 cents. The seating of the ball will be much harder with a 5 1/2" barrel because the ram is shorter. Yes you can use a "cheater pipe" to increase mechanical advantage/leverage but be gentle as parts could bend. You could also use a cylinder loader, but that's extra expense and you have to take the guns apart everytime to load, pain in the a;;; 36 cals are much easier to seat. Good Luck Pard. Greysmoke

LOL, I love all of the comments. My 2 cents worth; years ago I bougth a 1st gen 1860 at the right price, got it and someone had bored outed the barrel to make it smooth bore. Oh no, I thought, but I shot it and it would shot 1.1/2 groups all day long at 20 yards, so, go figure??

WTT good 30 06 brass and blackpowder accessories for, 54cal jag, 50cal round balls, and what you got? I got several hundred military 30 06 brass that have been reloaded once with the primer pockets reemed from an old friend that needed money for medical bills. Please PM me for details and info. Thanks Pards

Gosh, them grips look so good and you may have got them from me and when my 1911 wore them so many would say them's is some puddy grips! Good luck my friend.
