That was a very interesting little experiment. My question was which revolver will handle the best the reproduction of the original Colt combustible envelope cartridges: my original, the Pietta repro or the Uberti. This will also give you a good help in selecting a repro by the way…
I shot all 3 revolvers with paper cartridges made with Eras Gone’s excellent Colt bullet repro, and I also tried the Uberti and Pietta with charging these bullets on top of loose powder, as the Pietta chambers are a bit too tight for these cartridges. Also its rammer does not have a proper recess for pointed bullets, like the original or the Uberti repro, that makes it hard to drive the bullet in axis into the chamber.

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
