For the record
The third, timed reload of the 1858 New Army took 3 minutes and 5 seconds (including check to see that no caps were in-place).
Improvements that need to be made are to trim the pig-tails on the foam plugs to 1.5" and to have a better system for holding the lead balls. Basically, I need a short chunk of two-by-four with a groove in it long enough to hold seven balls.
Those were the only "bobbles". Once those changes are made and I get a few more untimed reps, I should be at about 2:30 and improvements will come more slowly as it will be primarily from training my muscle-memory.
Joe you are aware that cap and ball gunslingers carried more than one revolver. That calvary soldiers often had three Cap and ball revolvers along with their carbine.
ReplyDeleteEven the early cartridge revolver gunslingers carried a backup and often a hideout pistol.
Why the interest in fast reloading, friend?
Just curious.
