Fixed cartridges and cleaner burning powders solved most of the fouling problem with revolvers.<br /><br />I found it to be accurate though. Just slow on the reload. As you mentioned, that is solved by carrying more than one. It was commonly done in the percussion era.Dean Weingartenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026716292548440054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-75900860532578237692015-08-17T08:02:53.204+10:002015-08-17T08:02:53.204+10:00Well the only revolver I have ever had a problem w...Well the only revolver I have ever had a problem with is my 1851 black powder .36 cal, navy reproduction. the expended caps tend to jam and after about 24 rounds they really need to be cleaned.

If I haven't stopped a bear by then out come five 12 gauge slugs. any years ago there was a grizzly that came down out of Canada to the Prescott Arizona area. It was killing cattle for fun I hear the bounty went up to 25k and someone killed it with a high powered rifle. I' still looking for a 308 or 3006 I can get into for a reasonable price.
