[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2791702, member: 33416"] No, it was bone dry before I loaded it. I did it all by the numbers. I'm sure the cap and ball fanatics have special tools for getting those spent caps out of the way real quick to unbind the cylinder. Nevertheless, this was considered top of the line in 1868 when the story takes place. Now, I watched lots of YouTube videos on this particular replica, and oh - theirs shot just fine. Well, mine didn't. Loading is not quick and easy either. Honestly, I think a flint lock pistol might be more reliable. Now, this is my first go with a cap and ball. I had the Tom Dickens of a time wrasslin' that cylinder out with that ball stuck in the barrel. [/QUOTE]
