Any replica better than another for shooting frontier cartridge?
Ambush Andy replied to Ambush Andy's topic in SASS Wire
Wow thats great info. I am learning so much. I had also been experimenting with different bullets on the 44-40, and was a little skeptical about lube amounts and such, but I was really surprised how different the ones I got from whyte were from the other I was using in terms of clean up of the rifle barrel. -

I have no illusions of winning a lot, if ever, for sure definitely looking for the wisdom to keep it simple -
I'm looking to get a couple of cartrdge pistols (preferably 44-40 to match my rifle) to shoot frontier cartridge when I dont want to shoot the cap and balls. Couple of guys have mentioned they had trouble with some guns vs. others when using real bp. Is there anything to that? I was thinking 1875s.. Obviously they all originally shot bp but I could see how some of the replicas might have more trouble than others with residue, or at least how some might be less prone to issues after a long day of shooting. Sorry if that seems like a dumb question (it seems dumb in my head, but I have no sh

Dipping the toes into frontier cartridge and frontiersman

Wanted to thank you all for the advice in this thread, its been like my frontiersman Bible lol. More than a few dollars more and a curious wife on my secret activities later, slightly delayed due to a bout with covid, but I'm now armed up with a couple of 1860s, a, 1866 44-40 and I've built plenty of bp rounds and shells for a few matches. I've practiced up and learned a few more lessons (with many more to learn) and ready to make some smoke in January events should the weather hold out here in west tennessee! -

i guess next loaded question, pun intended... I use a lee load master progressive to load 38 now.. seems like conventional wisdom says not to use a progressive for real BP because of static, or at least not the powder charge station.. is that true? -
