Trip to range today, what you folks preach works.

[cpt dan blodgett]

Took my 2 Pietta NMAs 20 y/o and 2 y/o and a mixed pair Old Uberti and Brand New Pietta.
Four cylinders each for the NMAs, Treso nipples and 10 rem caps.  Results 40 first time booms.

The 1860s have uberti and pietta nipples repectively.
First cylinder with uberti 50% no bang first time all fired second go round with Rem 10s
Next cyinder 4 of 6 bangs 20 no goes.  2nd strike fail on both.  Replaced Caps, 1 went boom.  Other did nothing, ran cylinder around noting.  Replace Cap 2nd Tim 2 strikes no boom.  Cease fire wait retry with CCI 11 final boom

Pietta couple of no fires on first cylinder, think the 2nd did OK.  What with screwing with the uberti sorta lost track, bus seeing as it was a 44 cap and ball the most (not) powerful civil war hand gun do you feel lucky.

SORRY really meant to put this in the Dark Siders Den.
