Today we take the Traditions Crockett Pistol out to the range and put a few rounds through it. It appears as though Traditions discontinued this model some years ago, which is kind of a shame, because it is a very nice looking and handling pistol. My example wasn't showing particularly good accuracy this day, but I think if I play around with the load a little bit I can probably improve on that.

Putting a few shots downrange with the Traditions Kentucky pistol.

In this video, we try out some patched round balls through the Pedersoli Baker Cavalry Shotgun. I'll be using some .600" cast lead balls, a .020" patch, and 60 grains of Goex 2F blackpowder.

Here we take a look at a vintage Pietta .44 caliber 1851 percussion revolver. This one has a 12" barrel and comes equipped with a detachable shoulder stock. We also take it out to the firing range and put it through its paces.

Back in 1953, the American Rifleman magazine ran an article describing how shooting clubs could produce their own inexpensive ammunition for the M1 Garand by using cast bullets. Today, we are going to take a look at the load that article suggested and shoot an impromptu CMP Games match with that ammunition through an M1 Garand.

Just a quick video showing the 1917 Enfield that I recently received from the CMP. If anyone is interested in getting one of these, you should probably act fast, because the CMP only has a very limited supply of them.

This idea came from a video over on the Cap and Ball Fanatic UA-cam channel. Check out the channel when you get a chance! ua-cam.com/video/6GJ8k_J6RLw/v-deo.htmlsi=JO7ZwUw17Zjb0puy www.youtube.com/@CapBallFanatic-gb3jb

Today was just a quick range session with a Howell Arms .38 Special conversion cylinder in a Pietta .36 caliber Remington 1858 New Model Navy. Results were a bit lackluster, but I think with a little bit of experimentation I might be able to tighten up the groups some.

Taking a quick look at the Pedersoli Baker Cavalry Shotgun.

We're now taking a look at Pietta's version of the Spiller & Burr revolver. The Spiller & Burr was a revolver that was produced for the Confederacy from about 1862 to 1864. In total less than 1,500 pieces were made, making an original Spiller & Burr a very rare collectors piece. Pietta's version of the revolver is somewhat scarce as well. They seem to only make them in small batches, and somewh...

We'll be taking a look at Pietta's version of the Confederate Dance revolver. The original Dance revolver was produced between 1862 and 1865, with no more than about 500 being made during that time. We take it out to the range and put it through its paces. How does the Pietta reproduction stack up?

In this video we try out "The Load", as popularized by gunwriter C.E. Harris. "The Load" uses a charge of Alliant Red Dot powder with cast bullets, and generally works pretty well in many of the .30 - .32 caliber early 20th Century military rifle cartridges. As per my usual practice, I don't like to mention in these videos the actual powder charges I use, but just do a search for "The Load" on-...

Out at the range with the Pietta 1851 Navy revolver with the brass frame. This one is in .36 caliber and I'll be using it loaded with Pyrodex powder. I even try it out to 50 yards today, with so - so results. If you enjoyed this and would like to support me in getting new material to video, you can buy me a pizza here: ko-fi.com/johnzx6r
