Yep, Feck that crap...Good Lord. I would be finding a new range.
Do you mean cylinder, or chamber? I can't imagine most BP revolver shooters are commonly loading multiple cylinders, unless in some sort of competition scenario.Load carefully --Our range rules --only loading one cylinder at a time do to a multitude cylinder ignition that happened many years ago.
I personally use a single shot T.C. Patriot -- Been shooting black powder for 55 years --I was at the club when the chain fire happened --New shooter using the wrong Caps. We believe when he raised the pistol for a second shot one of the caps fell off igniting a second cylinder -- Fellow shooter got some lead spray -- Small volunteer club-- Not real good insurance.Good Lord. I would be finding a new range.
O.K., don't buy a muzzle loading revolver,.......buy two...EMF, Cabella's, et al, have them at good prices, and with two , you won't have to reload as frequently. (and then there's the whole, "little paperwork" thingy). Have a blast ........(sorry).....Please talk me out of it. I have close to 1000 lb of clean lead and it seems like a good route to go. Thoughts?
There's no way I can do that.Someone talk me out of buying a black powder revolver

P.S. - Pics are from the internet, too lazy right now to find and download my own.
the good ole slippery slope argument. while i do agree with your logic i cant discount the magnitude of fun a black powder revolver brings to the table. worth considering for sureAs to buying a black powder revolver... don't do it because they will start multiplying like AR15's do in the safe the very night you get the first one... Just saying...
