I know what you mean... I started back "when" with a 1860... today I still have a 1851 Short barrel (in .44 thou) still loaded and ready to go... my 1860's (Colt reissues) are in a case on the wall... I also have a couple of Remington New Armies (1858 for those that think that way)... one of which I "ehem" installed a Kirst Konverter in .45ACP to see how it would run ... "just an experiment of course"... Sorta "Pale Rider" itch... ran better than I expected... shot better than my Pietta 1873 with a .45ACP cylinder... what a surprise that was...

Yup... BP was king way back when and in lots of ways ... still is...
