      The pyrodex isn't the same stuff that I've had several warnings about not to use is it? I wouldn't want vital parts disappearing along with my barrel.

      The closest place I know of for supplies is 140 miles away in Eugene, OR. Is there a size spec for the percussion cap? The nipple diameter on mine is: 0.162".

      I'm just concerned about getting the ball stuck in the barrel, and I'm gathering that that is not so much of a worry.?

      Hey, I got this Bob Tingle beauty made in Shelbyville, IN, it has #552 stamped on it. It appears to be a .45 cal with a 32" octagon barrel and looks to be in real beautiful condition. I want to take it out and shoot it. I can't find any info on what type of powder and how much to put in it...
