Now that I FINALLY found some caps, I'll probably start shooting my 1860 again.

It would be nice to find some place to have black powder shoots.It's hard to do this at a regular range because of the short fire time.

Better if you can get folks to take a day off at the same time and meet up. Go to a range during the middle of the day when it's relatively empty. I've gone during the weekday a couple times and there were maybe 3 or 4 other people on the range. Either that of if we could meet some place out in the country where someone has some land. BP shooting is fun if you get to take your time and shoot at your own pace.

Danish Rolling Block / Lyman 50 Cal Great Plains Cap-lock... when I can.

What size? The walmart I work at has them in the fall. Only number 11 though. They work for 10 if you squeeze them a little.

You can bring them to Hicksville. Had fun with my pistol there.

I use #10s. Never seen any caps at Wally World.

Very few carry black powder. The one I work at does in the fall. Mostly in-line .50 cal..

Just bought a CVA Optima .50cal a few weeks back and shot it a couple days ago. Thing is a beast and fun as heck to shoot.

And where you could take an AR or AK to the range and easily blow through hundreds of rounds, BP slows you down a LOT. It would take months to crank off that many shots with a BP rifle. Or even a revolver.

Exactly why I like it. It takes forever to load so I don't shoot as much and save $$$

It's a win-win in my book.

I'm a po' ol' college student. I can't afford another gun so I'll just settle for going to the range once a week and shooting a total of four rounds through the .50 each time I go

 

[jrbfishn]

Yeah, maybe by the time you grediate, you will figure out how to load more than one at a time.
