Pietta made 1858 Rem. New Army
 .44 cap and ball. Got it a couple weeks ago, shoots like a dream. Or is that smokes like a cheesy dream sequence?

Re: Pietta made 1858 Rem. New Army
1858 Remingtons are among the better designs. The Colt designs had an open top with a mechanical joint, which wasn't as rigid as the 58 Remington.
If I'm not mistaken, the 1858 also has a quick-change feature associated with the cylinder. You know to use overshot wadding or grease over the bullets, right? If not, your first chain-fire isn't far off.

My loads consist of 15-25 grains of pyrodex p .451 round balls, greased over, with a #10 cci cap igniting the charge. Yes, the cylinder is quick to change. Only takes a couple seconds to swap out.

Nice! Cap & ball guns are plenty of fun.
 I have a CVA Navy '51 brass frame 44 that I try to get out once a year. 451-452" balls over 20-25gr of Pyrodex. ..cant remember cap #.
