It's added expense for no benefit. I just carefully load powder and ball. Thousands of rounds with no chainfire.

Im not worried about chain fires, from my reading the grease helps clean and shoot for a prolonged time. How many rounds do you fire at a time, I'd love to cut down on materials

>>35045828
Usually about 54 shots from each gun I bring per range trip. The 1851 Navies I shoot usually only like to run this long before the arbor gunks up. I don't notice any change in accuracy with the fouling.

>>35045854
good to know, I'll probably skip all this gunk or use intermittently given Im so slow to load then

>>35045713
Know a guy who deals in milsurp, hes got a beaumont with vitali mag for 350, yea or nay?

>>35045892
If it's in decent shape, good deal.

this bait it stinks

Can I find bp revolver in pawn shop?
What's a good price?

What are risks how check if broken

Stay away from pietta. Make sure the action is timed correctly. Obviously ask to cock it. Ask if it's been fired before. Field strip it if possible and look for wear that seems unnatural.

>I don't notice any change in accuracy with the fouling.
Distance you ate shooting at must be too short then.

>>35046896
There's literally nothing wrong with Pietta BP revopvers, and I say this having experience with almost all the Italian repro companies.

>>35046937
I fail to see how 25 yards is less than is to be expected of a pistol.

>>35046949
25 yards is not a whole lot with a full size black powder revolvers. Try 50.

>>35046967
Ok, so outside of benchresting pistols at 50 yards, the fouling has no discernible effect on accuracy. Pops 2 liters all day at 25 right where you aim.

Never said anything about benchresting. You seem to severly underestimate what full size black powder revolvers are capable of.

>the fouling has no discernible effect on accuracy
Flat out not true.

>Pops 2 liters all day at 25 right where you aim.
Whatever floats your boat, have fun the way you want, couldn't care less. As far as I'm concerned you can even shoot paper at point blank range and masturbate over how tight the group is all day.

But don't say fouling has no effect on accuracy because that's simply false. As other Anon mentioned using grease also allows more shots before it gunks up.

Hickok, you're too old for 4chan. Please leave.

No need to take offense to my observations, and you're free to try it yourself and share results if you find it's different for you.

I think you're just imagining heavily an effect on accuracy with fouling. Guns hit right where they're aimed all day without grease in chambers or cleaning during shooting.

Likewise, you can shoot paper and miss all day and blame it on the gun. I don't appreciate you coming here and spreading lies based on your lack of experience.

I was thinking of getting an 1851 as baby's first BP. Is there any real difference made with the materials of the Yankee and London steel variants aside from looks?
.36 or .44?

Tell me all about those people who win black powder competitions that are not using grease, I'll wait.

>I don't appreciate you coming here and spreading lies based on your lack of experience.
Then only one spreading lies here is you. That or just plain ignorance.

Well which is it then? Is it the distance? Is it the grease? Is it participating in a shooting competition that determines whether fouling affects the accuracy of the shots I've made? Does it depend on some person ordained by God, or is it you yourself who determines what affect fouling had on the accuracy of the shots I've made?

You certainly seem to hold 'Black Powder Competitions' in high regard, so can you name which competition you've pulled all this comprehensive data from? I'm sure we'd all love to see it knowing how in depth the information you have is.

>Then only one spreading lies here is you. That or just plain ignorance.
Even if this were the case, at least you've told us I don't miss shots with my blackpowder revolvers as much as you.

Nice 'no u' response, by the way. It really lives up to the quality and quantity of helpful posts you've contributed to this thread.

Still waiting. There's no rush though, take your time.

Wait all you like, it won't make your request any less of an argument.
