My all time favorite "cap n ball " pistol also !! Mine will shoot 6" circles at 50 meters. I have thousands of load development and cartridge making hours under my belt. If I could just get back the man hours I have spent cleaning these pistols I would be happy. Love your show !!
This is the video I've been waiting for after your test with .44 Johnson & Dow conicals. I recently bought an Eras Gone mould for my .36 Uberti Remington New Model Navy, along with 10 of your excellent reproduction cartridge boxes !! I find the conicals slightly more accurate than round balls whether loaded with loose powder or combustible paper cartridges. Keep the videos coming. :-)
Great revolver. I have only a .36 Hege-Uberti 1861 Navy replica of this gun but it also performs well at the range. Mine is made in 1975 (AA) and has a nickel plated cylinder. The rest of the gun is blued and made of steel (no brass parts). It was some kind of special edition I believe. I bought it used a few years ago.
I have purchased one of these molds. The bullet is the best, easiest loading, most accurate bullet I have ever used. Been looking for a good conical bullet for percussion revolvers for years, this is it.
I believe that is a Colt's Cartridge Works Bullet. Era's Gone only makes the .44 Johnston and Dow mould and .36 Colt, they will be offering the Richmond Laboratory .36 later. Beautiful pistol excellent shooting.
The .36 caliber mould he makes is the Colt's Cartridge Works. Next month he is releasing a Richmond Laboratory mould also in .36 caliber. The .44 caliber mould is the Johnston and Dow.
, with the Pocket .31s, I ll do a few card table distance shots to see what the elongated can do. The elongated ball is v e r y long! only about 10 grains of powder can be charged. It s almost as heavy as a Navy ball! The velocity won t be there, but the punch will be! I ll set up the baffel box to where it will show impact effect (it ll be on a roller that will alow for a shock value to be read).
I could not be more jealous. How did you find that sweetheart of a revolver. I have a 5 1/2 in 1861 repro. It's spooky accurate at 15 yards. It also handles better than anything else I've ever shot. I just love the 61. Notch sights on the hammer work really well up close and fast. I like a revolver that shoots a little high and that describes most Colt clones.
Just took my 1862 Police 5-shot out the other week and tried it at 50 yards. I never hit the target once. Could not see where it was hitting and it turned out that all shots were high and to the left. I had been aiming towards the center bottom of the target and they were hitting to the left of the top. Yes, that hammer notch sight does leave a lot to be desired. BTW, my target was approximately the same size as yours. Found the holes on the 4 x 8 foot sheet of plywood used as a target holder.
Mark Hubbs - tell me more about the cartridges you're making for these? Or are you just producing molds? Heck - just email me at jfb@charter.net and then we'll talk.
I have a 1862 Police in 36 caliber. With round ball it shoots to the sights out to 35 yards, with the conical bullet it shoots to the sights out to 25 yards but a tad low compared to the round ball. These guns have small sights which makes them basically a point and shoot weapon but they are well made .
Do you intend to make a video on the Mannlicher M1895 rifle? I know that this channel is more centred on black powder weapons, but you have done some videos on more modern surplus arms and quite a few on the weapons of the Habsburg Empire.
It sure would be good to see you do a pine board penetration comparison shoot with all the colts! I m preparing to do just that. I have an example each of all the Authentic Colt blackpowder Series and two Signature Series (WH Dragoon and 1849 Pocket). I ll do it with Colt mold cast elongated/round, from 12, 25, 45 and 75 yds.
I wish I was a fly on the wall when the first guy said out loud "why don't we just put the bullet and powder in a brass shell with the percussion cap on the end?"
As always, a 1st class presentation (that most of the Americans would do to emulate). However: having also watched your 'Army' vid. I'm surprised at how enthusiastic you are about the Navy. And I'm paraphrasing here: 'I prefer Remingtons' & don't like Colts. They have no top frame strap, & dislodged percussion caps jam the action (one such on the Navy too). Regards the percussion caps - I'm surprised you don't re-size to make them a little tighter(!) After all: you pay a lot of detailed attention to other aspects of your preparation.
The .382" diameter will fill a .376" diameter just fine if it doesn't get honed down to a .370" or .360" something by a chamber throat that, oddly enough, always seems to be smaller than the two preceding diameters (bore and ball)!
it is the best looking revolver ever made, just highly thankful that 'capandall' speaks english and not his native language (hungarian) as thats harder to learn than Japanese.

Professional, polite and pretty awesome. That is cap n ball...
That's some good shooting! Well within the tolerances of it's intended use. The ammo and packaging completes the picture, as well! Love it.
:) Thanks!

I love that round. Bought the mould for it about 7 months ago. It's a heavy hitter in .44cal.

Its really nice to see the original old guns fired.
What a beautiful original pistol. Wow ! I'm jealous hahaha

Beautiful Colt and great shooting.
Excellent video and excellent Colt 1861, I wish your 1860 was in that good of condition for its test.
Just love these old wheel guns! Great video! 👍🏻
Well cap good to see you do this test makes me feel better because my does the exact same thing
I have purchased one of these molds. The bullet is the best, easiest loading, most accurate bullet I have ever used. Been looking for a good conical bullet for percussion revolvers for years, this is it.
I'm not a black powder shooter, but a really enjoy you videos.

I've been waiting for the new molds to come in. Thanks for the reminder.
Anytime ;)
EldarKinSlayer the guy is supposed to make or have made, 36cal also

Beautiful ‘61 Navy
Nice. You got a hold of another 1861 original. The other was s/n 1398 this one is 1938.
1st class as always. Regards from Alabama.
John, what part of Alabama? I'm in Huntsville. Mark Hubbs, Eras Gone Bullet Molds.
Mark Hubbs - how ya doing mark! Love this guy's videos. About to pick up an 1861 from cimarron myself.
Jonathan, great to hear from you. Lets go shooting sometime. CapandBall's videos are keeping me busy packing bullet mold orders!
Mark Hubbs - tell me more about the cartridges you're making for these? Or are you just producing molds? Heck - just email me at jfb@charter.net and then we'll talk.
Thank you, super pistol!!!! It is a work of art for sure.
Best wishes from the uk.

These guns have small sights which makes them basically a point and shoot weapon but they are well made .
Great video! Love that '61!
I really enjoyed watching that, thanks
It's got a lot of umph for a mere 15gns of gunpowder!And clearly accurate with the traditional conicals!
Love these videos.
Do you intend to make a video on the Mannlicher M1895 rifle? I know that this channel is more centred on black powder weapons, but you have done some videos on more modern surplus arms and quite a few on the weapons of the Habsburg Empire.
I have an 1858 44cal and I love it
It sure would be good to see you do a pine board penetration comparison shoot with all the colts! I m preparing to do just that.

Sweet need to see if there are bullet molds for that particular round. Also I've never tried shooting a handgun from a rest.
My goodness, that's a good looking pistol.
Great review, awesome pistol, thanks for the video.
always a joy to watch
I wish I was a fly on the wall when the first guy said out loud "why don't we just put the bullet and powder in a brass shell with the percussion cap on the end?"
Awesome video brother. What could one expect to pay for an original in that condition?
As always, a 1st class presentation (that most of the Americans would do to emulate).
However: having also watched your 'Army' vid. I'm surprised at how enthusiastic you are about the Navy.
And I'm paraphrasing here: 'I prefer Remingtons' & don't like Colts. They have no top frame strap, & dislodged percussion caps jam the action (one such on the Navy too).
Regards the percussion caps - I'm surprised you don't re-size to make them a little tighter(!) After all: you pay a lot of detailed attention to other aspects of your preparation.
My old eyes and those tiny sights are not a good mix, but they are beautiful revolvers.
Old Wild Bill wouid be proud. His favorite pistol.
The .382" diameter will fill a .376" diameter just fine if it doesn't get honed down to a .370" or .360" something by a chamber throat that, oddly enough, always seems to be smaller than the two preceding diameters (bore and ball)!
Happy new Year
Nice gun. Looks like its been re-blued at some point.
That's beautiful thing I ever seen
Is the colt cartridge works 126 gr. conical bullet. The one Mark Hubbs sells. The same as the Johnson and Dow 128 gr. Bullet you are shooting there?
I don't know what hair-curling paper is, but those cartridges look like they could've been made out of cigarette-rolling papers, are they similar?
These moulds beat the crap out of the Lee conical. Lee makes the moulds for Erasgoneby.
Which type and size caps do you use when shooting your .36 caliber 1861 Colt?
Wow, that is a beauty.
It would be very tempting to put custom frame mounted sights on the reproduction models.
Some repros do come with such sights eg Pietta 1858 Remington target model repro.
it is the best looking revolver ever made, just highly thankful that 'capandall' speaks english and not his native language (hungarian) as thats harder to learn than Japanese.
Nice old gun. Fun to shoot too.
Great, now I have to go start buying black powder guns... Thanks 😉. In all seriousness thanks for the videos, good job.
Very nice. A those cast from pure lead?
i have a 1858 model Pietta that shoots left at 20 yards but if i hold the sights as pictured, ( \ I/ ), it hits point of aim.
Where did you find an original in such good condition?
It's the second 1861 I've seen him shoot. Those guys have a lot of antique guns!
Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't seem to shoot signicifantly better than the repros. Did you try it with a round ball?
Do you smear any grease over the chambers to prevent chain fire?
The bullets are dip lubed after the cartridges are ready, so no additional grease is needed.
Guncollector on Gun Broker has an 1861 for sale $900.00
Low and to the left seems to be the norm for these old beauties.
A hair curling papernek mi a magyar neve?
what do you do for a living
Lovely pistol
Very nice
A gun range in France ?
A arma não tem precisão? ..é isso?
May i ask? Where are you located in Hungary?
Excellent..
Is that revolver known as the confederate?
I love you America
Two thumbs up!
Par Excellance!
Ball ammo is better.
I have a 1861 navy colt for sale any takers let me know legally of course

Most beautiful percussion revolver ever made? I kindly & respectfully disagree. The Remington New Army, imo, has that title.
