Thank you all for your advise in the other thread. I went ahead and bought myself a Pietta 1851 Colt Navy Revolver. What a beautiful revolver this is, I can't wait to shoot it this weekend. My only complaint is the cosmoline, which I need to remove tonight before I go to bed.

A quick question, how many grains do you guys load on your black powder revolvers like this one?

Those Wonder Nine shooters and plastic brick lovers are going to have a shock at the range when I pull out my cloud-making hand cannon.
