I've got a brass frame '51 navy C&B. What's a good load for this gun (amount of powder,what kind of powder, wads, etc.)? I've heard some talk about the brass frame being inferior. I read the replies from Mason Stillwell's post and wanted more info. What can you guys tell me.

Dont load them to max and you will get LOTS of shooting from them.

I use  around 20 gr of FFG and a wad or grits and a round ball


Hope this helps
