Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone has shot BP loads out of their New Model Vaqueros and any comments on the same. I read somewhere on the internet that the tolerences are tighter and the newer revolvers foul quickly but I would like to see what kind of experience ya'll have had.
Thanks!

I was a-waitin' for someone else to reply since I've NEVER fired a new one with BP.
But I have observed a match where someone else did.  And they did have some slight bindin' problems that they never had with smokeless.

Thanks MG, I was just wondering. On CPT Baylor's pages he gives a good report using BP with them. If you just have to wipe them down at lunch like I hear is the case with 1858 Remingtons then it isn't a big deal.

I only shoot BP in my NMV. At first it had some binding problems, but it seems to be getting better. I clean base pin and the chamber mouth with Ballistol every 4 or 5 stages.
