my new BP guns
I have just recently aquired this cva .50 cal percussion cap rifle and pietta 1858 .44 cal army and have had a blast shooting them. I go through far less rounds than when shooting my mosin and its like fishing it is more laid back and relaxing. I'm lucky that I have a local range owned by a muzzle loading club that has monthly shoots and members can use the range any time. So my son and I have been working twards membership and they are a great resource for information etc.

I will say that you can definetely go through more rounds in the revolver.
Glad you are enjoying your new acquisitions! Welcome to the realm of holy black!

It really should be considered a sickness...but a very enjoyable one. Nice start to the collection.
