I got the bug to shoot my Holland transitional percussion revolver. Had some trouble with proper caps and I could tell by the shape of the rammer head it was made for a conical bullet, but had to use a round ball. But I got her to shoot and video taped the experience and posted it to you tube. If your interested in these Brit. revolvers, have a look.   JW

Some interesting features, like the "fences" between the nipples and the sealing cylinder.

Thanks for giving us a look and doing it with video, to boot.
People like me are the reason people like you have the right to bitch about people like me.

Beautiful piece, I like the pre-Marlin 'microgroove' rifling. Excellent video.
The first step of becoming a good shooter is knowing which end the bullet comes out of and being on the other end.
