1858 remington

[eli hex]

   I am posting some load development for a 58 remmy.I use a pietta stainless.Load a pyrodex pellet,then a buffalo conical and use the winchester 777 cap.Gives unbelievable ignition and complete burning of pellet.Shot thru a possum and a 2x8 that it was in front of.Could never recover the bullet.Had fastest ignition time I have ever seen.Would not hesitate to use for selfdefense.Also revolver sat loaded for 5 months and not a single delay in firing.Also a good varmit load is to load cylinder 1/2 with 777 and insert wad then shot(#9) then top off with thin wad on top.Gives good penetration and spread out to 15-20 feet.I'm in load developement for a shot load for the walker that will give performance close to the Judge.Thanks and keep your powder dry.

Never tried those pill/pellet things, but mine works great with real black and round balls...punch right through rabbits and 2x4's..shot hunting quail with pistol is a blast...just don't seem to get many....
