Hi all, so I am the proud new owner of a Uberti 1849 Wells Fargo Colt Pocket revolver and the Kirst Konverter for it. My question is this, can I shoot typical 32 S&W Short loads in this? I know it says BP or equivelant in the Kirst instructions, but how do I know if the ammo I have is equivelant? My sense is that this would more apply to the 38 conversions that have a wide variety of modern ammo available, the instructions that came with the Kirst are universal for the '49,'51,'61 revolvers and I have a hard time believing that the tiny 32 short could cause any trouble, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this.
Thanks
