  • Good accessories for first-time BP revolver buyers:
    1) Buy some Wonder Wads, usually found $10 per 100. They are 0.45 diameter lubricated wads to seal the chamber over powder and under ball. Also to help minimize fouling
    2) Buy FFFG Triple Se7en, Pyrodex P, or Goex black powder, usually around $28 per 1lb. container. 777 doesn't have much an odor at all and cleans super easy with water and then oiled.
    3) Buy #11 percussion caps ~$5
    4) Buy a black powder flask that measures out ~25grains of powder (volume not weight), got mine for $38
    5) Buy a powder flask funnel to go with the flask, it will save a lot of time and headaches, $15
    6) Buy some pre-swagged lead balls for starters, I got a bag of Hornady .451caliber balls for $15
    7) Buy a nice brass cleaning brush and a cloth holder for .44 pistols, hopefully you have a cleaning rod already, was around $5 for both items
    8) Buy some sort of #11 capper for percussion caps if you plan on doing this for very long...
    9) Be patient! And enjoy ;)
