PERCUSSION REVOLVER JOHNSON DOW TEST

[@garywhelansr5602]

nice shooting one sweet weapon there

[@undasoundrecords757]

Hey blackie how do you know if the wad is seated correctly under the ball

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

usually when i load it i push it down into the cyl about a 1/16 of a inch..so the ball or bullet will push it further down

[@undasoundrecords757]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS It seems like they go in a little sideways even if I try to use something to straighten them up is that ok I'm new to this and have seen all of your videos you are the best!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yes should be fine ..the ball will flatten it out when loading and compressing

[@undasoundrecords757]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Thank you and love your videos!

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Enjoying this series I love to shoot and like the way you explain what you are doing. Thanks Blackie.

[@gordonfrich4298]

Great video thanks Blackie. I got the cartridge converter for my 58 sheriffs 5 1/2 and shoot cowboy loads when i want or need a bullet but want to get that mold so I can cast my own. can you do a video on what is needed to cast the bullets and show us the process?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i am not sure youtube has stated they don't want any videos on reloading or bullet casting..i will see if i can do it

[@6Sally5]

Watchout Blackie...YT Nazis will charge you with a strike.

Hi blackie I have an Armi San Marco 1851 colt .44 with 3" barrel snubnose and birds head grip on a brass frame (the only snubnose I could win an auction for). I'm looking at some conicals that are .457 made for a Ruger .45 I think. Do you think that would be too large? The seller recommended 1 set over the others, "wheel" something alloy to reduce "leading." What do you think, please?" I want to use conicals and a 25 grn charge. Not going to shoot much, just a few loads to get familiar with it, then it's going to have to my only self defense firearm (9 month wait for permits in MA right now). The gun is in good condition hasn't been fired much. Please advise!

[@6Sally5]

She’s the icing on the cake of this great vid series!

[@dakotathoms8404]

A bit of a light load as a 30g, and a longer barrel would give better results as well as a faster moving round, personally I use the 58 remington army steel frame and use paper patched 35g with the Johnston and Dow, and that seems to work wonders for me

[@bernardflood8289]

Greetings from Ireland. I love the black powder videos, 1858 is a bonus.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks you i have more videos to come with it

[@juantego7614]

Thank you for all your videos, they help me out so much. How old is your pietta?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

just a few yrs i did a antique job on it

[@davidedmonjr.5184]

How about a 1911 Auto 🎥 🤠

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have thought once i complete my percussion revolver series what gun will i cover then..i might go with all i know on the 1911..we shall see

[@jojodiver8706]

Hi Blackie, I thoroughly enjoy you videos and have learned a lot. I have a Richland Arms 1851 Colt Navy that I've been shooting off and on for years. My dad gave it to me back in about 85 or so. But now the nipples are pretty much wore out. Also the hammer face is a little buggered up. The markings indicate it was manufactured by Armi San Marcos. Do you know what nipples will fit this thing? And will hammers for Uberti's or Pietta pistols fit my Ami San Marcos?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

to be honest i do not..however if it was me with this problem i would go to dixie gun works and ask them..for many many yrs they were the go to people i asked when i had such questions..hope this helps ya..safe journeys

[@jojodiver8706]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Thanks Blackie!

[@RIGOutdoors]

The grouping with those rounds was amazing. Very impressive.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it does show promise..next i will try with a wonder wad..and play with components till its dials in..but very impressed out of the box

[@jeffnotti9932]

that 58 sheriff is a nice gun. I would not want to be the Yankee on the business end of that peee-solah ! The safety notch between cylinders is a great innovation for its time. Awesome man!

[@lessage760]

Very good video on this bullet sir loved the showing I will stayed tuned for more on this adventure it is very got me on the edge of my chair thank you sir

[@wendellhagg3511]

Great Video, very good method. Thank You, Sir !! H.

[@BradW.]

Love the videos! Keep'em coming!

[@meandmyself28601]

I have a kind of related question do you know much about the blackpowder shotguns?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i once owned a double barrel 10 ga..and several 20 trade guns

[@meandmyself28601]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS I was just wondering if they were worth the money

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i really enjoyed mine..they served as well as a modern gun..there is a bit of a learning curve but once you have it down its great fun

[@meandmyself28601]

thank you for your quick response I know you are a busy man it is appreciated

[@tjfritts9013]

Very good vid. Yeah, you hit a runny bunny with a 250gr bullet over a stout charge...you'll have a little bit of fluff and not much for supper! :)

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep ears and tails do not feed old woodsmen

[@johnthomasjr262]

Great video... Keep the black powder videos coming!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have the johnson and dow chrony test...board penetratin test..and also the keito .44 bullets to test as well..and stuff for the .36 navy..lots of stuff on the way

[@greywuuf]

How you coming with those kaidos ?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i am doing well i will be doing a test this coming sunday if all goes well

[@John-wu3ii]

Doesn't look like the Remington rammer is doing much damage to that bullet. I may have to try some in mine.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it does blunt it a bit..but i find the flat nose does better on game..the point is far better to penetrate in a military application since i might go thru one and wound another..but i nhunting i want as munch energy dumped on my target..not passing to the dirt beyond

[@John-wu3ii]

Thanks Blackie, I've been interested in that bullet but was concerned as to how the Remington would affect it. I guess I better get busy and order a mold.

[@greywuuf]

Nice start ...dialed in pretty quickly ....any plans to run it through some screens ?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep chrony and board test as soon as the groups are solid so i feel safe to shoot over chrony

[@matthewgarza2865]

Hey is it safe to keep my 1851 navy loaded and capped or could it go off by itself

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

if hammer is done safely then it cannot go off by itself

[@Rumblestrip]

Great video... Definitely need to play with mine more

[@williammccaslin8527]

Hmmm, very interesting results, can't wait to see you stretch it out a bit more an load development, following an thx for the vid.

[@jefflang6271]

What was your final load? You had worked up to 35gr. on the second round.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

you are correct sir..my final group was 35 however iwant to try 30 with a wonder wad under the bullets as a better gas seal..but from what i have saw thus far it likes a strong charge and it likes a seatin depth of about flush with cyc face..more testing to follow

[@guyzents7206]

How about lighter bullets?

[@tomritter493]

That's some fine groups a littlebit tweaking with loads it might get better ! Task care brother

[@guyzents7206]

Maybe you should have got the 8" barrel for the heavier bullets.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it might work better..i got the 5 for ease of carry and as a woods gun

[@XGCPR3D4T0R]

Great video boss man!! I want an authentic kukari ( sorry if I butchered spelling) any idea where to get one?? Thanks anyway.
