Original Civil War revolvers vs original cartridges: Colt Army, Remington, Starr, Adams

Please support us at For buying Capandball Civil War cartridge boxes and cartridge formers: or the Capandball webpage: The Remington, Starr, Colt and Adams .44 cal percussion revolvers were all used during the American Civil War. All these revolvers were loaded with cartridges supplied by government arsenals and private contractors resulting a great variety of cartridge dimensions. Today I am comparing their performance with the reproduction of the original Johnston & Dow cartridges based on the excellent bullet mold from Eras Gone.
