I collect these guns, & do shoot any in my collection at least once ( for function ) & some of my better ones quite a bit...

however I do start out with pop gun hand loads & work my way up ( pop gun loads consist of a minimal load of trail boss & soft lead round balls ) hotter loads work their way up to hard cast bullets ( I don't shoot anything jacketed in any of my top breaks )...

... BTW... I've so far collected around 3 dozen of these guns in various makers, calibers & configurations... some of them are really fun to shoot...
