Yes. The 45 long colt is the conversion. Just make sure the drop in cylinder can shoot smokeless powder or black powder. I own many BP revolves, but none with the drop in conversion. You'll find or can ask any questions here and get answers. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...lackpowder.12/ |

Also. If you shoot Black Powder or any of its substitutes?
You must clean them the same day or they will be a rusty mess the next time you look at it. And oil. Keep it good and oiled. |

IIRC the conversion is only a 5 shot?
Also. There should be notches on the cyl that are inbetween the chambers. Those are there so you can load all six chambers and drop the hammer on the middle notch. Safety notch. If your cyl doesn't have the safety notch and you want to leave the gun loaded. You always leave one chamber empty to rest the hammer on. |

I dont remember ever shooting one with a conversion.
None of mine have them. I use zigzags and role the powder and ball into the Zigzag. Other time I just role up the powder charge in the Zigzag. Reloading this way is easy and a lot quicker out at the range. Ive been shooting BP since about 76. When a BP club would come out to our Threshing machine shows. They'd let us kids shoot the pocket 32s and the 36 Navy's. My Pops didnt care. So Id stay there all day and shoot as much as those guys would let me. I was hooked at a young age. A San Marco replica Colt Walker was the 1st BP I ever owned. Wish I still had that coal burner. Last edited by LiveSteam; 02-20-2021 at 06:16 PM.. |

Oh Jesus Christ.
Go buy a used single stage press and a set a lc45 dies and reload. Triple 7 if you ever use it? Should be a reduced powder charge of 10% ........ All other powders work with manufacturers recommended max powder loads |
