Went out to shoot my revolvers yesterday for the first time , Followed the instructions on here began with 20 grains and moved up to 30 and had NO problems ,In fact i am so hooked on BP right now that i really really want more :-) I am looking for civil war era replicas that i can shoot , if any one knows of a source i would be very grateful .I wonder if they mix crack in with the gunpowder because i am so hooked i cannot wait to get out again :-)

Yup! They are pretty cool arnt they? Thats EXACTLY how i felt when i got back into it recently too!
One thing.. The 30gr is ONLY for the steel framed gun. NEVER use that much, or more then 20 for that matter, in a brass one. It may not blow apart, but it will ruin your gun in really quick order. A lot of people say heavy loads in a brass frame will only stretch the frame and hammer the back plate (ruining the gun anyway), BUT, I have seen one where a brass frame actually cracked from the lower\back part of the cylinder opening, at a downward angle towards the grip. Dangerous stuff. At any rate, the best that can happen if you shoot those loads in the brasser is that you will ruin it.. Now, the steel frame? Hehe.. Pack as much as you can without loosing accuracy is my motto!
