I just bought two replica BP pistols from an estate. I've always wanted to get into this hobby, and here I am...
The guns are an Oberti 1860 Colt Army and a Cabela's 1857 Remington brass "Buffalo" (Pietta??). They both look to be unfired.
The research that I've done in the FAQ's seems to suggest that I could use Hornady .454 ball in both, but my real question concerns the caps. #10, 11 or both?
