It is most likely the same here, but try to go off the road that day and you’d get stuck. We tried to get off road but even going to get my buddy Paul’s Razor, we got stuck in his driveway to his shop. This road is rather solitary at this time of year while we filmed this. Today (mid June) it’s a highway to the reservoir that this road goes too. We usually do go to another dirt road just north of this most of the time. Thanks for watching.

You talked about the cylinder being short. I just got blessed yesterday with a Remington new navy 1858. It has a conversion cylinder for 38 special. The scary thing is that a 357 magnum round will fit in it. I'm sure if that's ever done, it'll be a one time accident.

OK to start. I've am in the middle of a thought experiment on my two Remington new model Navy's. A peitta and a uberti. I slugged both barrels, for very different results. The peitta slugs at .3665, and the uberti at .3710. So I've custom order a bullet mold for heal based bullets. Heal at .358, and drive bands at .372. Two bullets one at 130gr, the other 150gr. I'm also curious what the Howells cylinder you have measures front to back without the firing pin cap. On my Remingtons they measure 1.62 which if longer than 357 mag cartridge overall length. I have a couple of videos on this subject, and going through the process. Mountain man

The bore of you 1851 Navy is .36 cal with a groove diameter closer to .37. Using ,357 bullets they will not engage the rifling resulting in tumbling/keyholing and leading. Your 1872 open top is a true .357 groove/.38 special bore/chamber and should shoot .38 special fine. To improve accuracy with the 1851 Navy/Howell conversion cylinder load your cartridges with 148gr hollow base target wad cutters (such as from Hornady) They will expand and engage the rifling grooves and should be more accurate. In the day .38 Colt cartridges used healed externally lubricated bullets (like current.22 LR) So the exposed bullet was .36 and worked well, later they went to modern .358 inside lubricated hollow base bullets which also worked.

My pleasure I've enjoyed a number of your videos Especially enjoy Cowboy and Black Powder guns. If you don't already have one, Taylor's & Co. sells a small spanner wrench to remove the Howell firing pins for thorough cleaning. Also, the C&B BP pistol frames, wedges etc , unlike the Howell cylinders, Colt Open Tops and other factory conversion, are marked BP only and not proofed for smokeless powder, so loads must be kept pretty light.. Personally in my Howell conversion I load the cartridges with 3F BP (about 18gr for .38 and .45 Colt) and dip the loaded tips in Beeswax & EVOO mixture. Very Fun! ❤ DJ@@ralphperez4862

@@dorisjohnson8857 Thanks so much for that info. These cowboy loads are really light. I think I may fart with more oomph. Once I convert to a conversion cylinder, that revolver never goes back to black powder. I own well over a dozen BP revolvers. I'll keep them for BP use only. The last thing I will ever do is shoot BP in any of my cartridges. They're just way to messy and corrosive. It's so much of an easier clean up too. Ha. Thanks for watching.
