I like cap and ball revolvers mainly for what they are, but I have been thinking lately of trying one of these in my Remington Navy just for the hell of it. Does anyone here have any first hand experience with these cylinders? How hard are they to fit to the revolver? which brand is the best? I've read the .38 special should be used with hollow base bullets for best results. I've got a good ammount of 38 special hollow base wadcutter ammo I'd like to use up.
Any thoughts?
