Shooting the Remington 1858 .44 caliber C&B revolver
Had a great time at the range this time out. I've never been disappointed after taking this gun out even if It takes a good long time to re-load. I have two cylinders for it but after a dozen shot or so it gets hard to switch out the cylinders. You have to re-oil it and clean off the fowling. Even so it's on of the most fun guns I have in my collection.

What are you lubing the cylinder pin with? It should run longer than that before it starts binding.

I get 4-5 cylinders with Bore Butter. I keep saying I'm going to try PAM but haven't yet.

I've gotten better results with Bore Butter but there is a problem. It was almost 90 degrees out that day and at that temperature bore butter becomes practically unusable. Unless I keep a cooler with ice around the stuff is just a pain.

I usually wipe a little Barrel Blaster on the pin, and then wipe it down periodically as I shoot, about every two dozen shots or so. I also run some through the cylinder with a q-tip.
