Thanks pards! Lots of good reading and gave me something to think about.

Hello, I currently shoot Frontiersman and am looking at doing some side matches, specifically Plainsman in 2026. I've got all the equipment except for a single shot rifle. I'm leaning towards a rolling block but am unsure of caliber. If the normal Plainsman distances are 75 yards or less would a pistol caliber work just as well as say the 38-55 or 45-70? I shoot 44-40 in my Frontiersman 1873 rifle, but that doesn't seem like a readily available option. I'm seeing on GB rolling blocks in 357 and 45 as well as 38-55 and 45-70. Is there a preference for a particular caliber and if so, why? Any calibers to avoid? Would 45colt be sufficient? Thanks for any insights. Choctaw Kid

Count me in!

Is EOT a ransom/buy back your own brass sort of affair?

Awesome. Thanks guys!

For those who have gone the route of acquiring additional Kirst cap & ball cylinders, is their anything in the way of gun smithing required or are they generally good to go out of the box? If fitting is required, how would someone know that they needed those services?

I realize the inherent issues with a 44-40 case gauge checker as depending on the gun, barrel diameters are not consistent....so if we are making a Christmas wish list, i'd say making the 44-40 around a .428 bullet using Starline brass.

For Sale: ~1,250 bullets (probably closer to 1,400) from Missouri Bullet Company. Size .430 with black powder lube. Truncated Cone shape. Price $125 + $10 Shipping. Thanks for considering, Choctaw Kid

I’d be very interested in a 50 round 44-40 case checker.
