Nothing else anywhere I found that fits this need. Price is better than other containers that are NOT the right size, or would have to be Jerry-rigged to serve the purpose.
Very nice black powder kit.
To be given for Xmas gift
They were exceedingly helpful.
I accidentally ordered the regular .44 kit, I reached out asking if it was too late to change my order and they corrected it for me and then made suggestions for correcting the other items in my cart to complement the the kit I thought I ordered vs. What I actually ordered! This kit is pretty awesome! FYI I use the era's gone mold and it works 99% of the time (because I messed something up those times) kit is easy to use and while BP is fun loading up a dragoon can be a bit tedious, but spend a little bit of time making cartridges beforehand while watching TV and things roll right along
Works like a charm. didnt take long to figure out and my 1863 sharps goes bang everytime.
Its really cool to make linen and paper cartridges. Wonder if my 4th Great Granddad did the same. He was a Sargent in the 5th Alabama. Calhoun County Sharpshooters.
I accidentally ordered the wrong one and reached out to them and they not only corrected the order but suggested what other items should be changed so everything would work with my 2nd model dragoon!
Made making cartridges so much easier for my ROA
still trying to learn how to use it without wanting to throw it in trash
I first bought the slide-top version for the .44, thinking it’d be slimmer without the hinge, which is true. However, that box has the cap holes right alongside the cartridge holes, which makes it tricky to dump the cartridges out one at a time without losing the caps.
The flip top, at least in this 5-shot .31 cal arrangement, has a small compartment at the end for the caps, so it’s no problem to hold a finger over that section whilst dumping the cartridges out.
Overall, I like ‘em both.
I use this to make cartridges for a new Uberti 1849 Pocket Model, and it works well. I ground down the powder scoop to throw 11grains of FFFg powder, as that is all I can fit in the gun under the ErasGone conical bullet. It’s tricky assembling the things with such a tiny bullet, but not unmanageable.
This little toolbox perfect for Colt BP pistols and the nipple pick is perfect for any Black Powder pistol/rifle. Small and retro cool, get one! Great customer service also
and it works very well. It does take some patients if using a filler to 'take up space' with reduced powder charges.
I’ve used this on replicas and 3rd generation Colts (which were much tighter than the Italian replicas), and was very glad to have it. The nipple pick is a nice touch.
I’m glad somebody makes this tool, makes it well, and for a reasonable price to boot!
Goods were exactly as described and delivered very quickly, even although overseas (Scotland).
Bottom line: if you have a percussion revolver and you like history and/or convenient reloading, then you need one of these kits.
Using roundballs is a little tricky, but doable; the kit works spectacularly with the historical (and excellent) Johnston & Dow conicals from Eras Gone bullet molds. I found using 25grains of Swiss FFFg made for easier seating with those bullets in my Uberti 1860 Army; using the included powder measure throwing ~27gr (which is a historically-correct charge for use with a conical bullet in Colt’s Army Revolver), I could just BARELY cram that pointy bullet down far enough to clear the face of the cylinder.
I loaded a good number of both roundball and conical cartridges with this kit, and had no problems loading or shooting them in my unmodified Uberti revolver. Reliability and performance were both excellent: accuracy was better than loose-loaded roundballs, and I didn’t get any failures to ignite until the gun was quite dirty (about forty rounds fired with no cleaning).
This is a very handy way to carry a reload for a soot-belching sixgun. I’ve been using the Johnston & Dow conical bullet cast in the Eras Gone mold, assembled with this fine outfit’s paper cartridge kit (using 25gr of FFFg) and the cartridges fit nicely (and shoot splendidly!).
I bought a pair of the .44 Paper Cartridge Wallets with the Slide Top. I love this modern twist on an old concept! This review is based on my opinion which is a product of my observations & my experiences with these items. I've attached a video of this problem for you to see & hear for yourself.
Brand new factory percussion caps barely fit inside the percussion cap holes. Once inside, they will NOT move. They do NOT drop free. I used a small diameter drill to remove the percussion caps. I then used a 13/64 drill bit to slightly widen the percussion cap holes. They now function properly. I had to perform this remedial adjustment for both wallets for them to function properly so the caps drop free.
I immediately emailed CK's about this. I decided to leave this review since I received no response to my email about this problem. I can't be the only shooter who has encountered this issue. I hope CK's modifies the wallet line's 3D printing program accordingly to adjust the diameter of the percussion cap holes in all of their wallets to ensure a DROP FREE performance, with some wiggle room to account for the minor standard deviation of percussion cap variance across manufacturers. Although I own dozens of C&B revolvers of all kinds, I'm less inclined to purchase the other wallets in the present line due to the defective design metrics & poor quality control.
Xactly as described. Everything required. Well curated selection.
Shipment of the order took a little longer than expected. But the wallet is very well made and very useful.
I ordered two ROA Deluxe kits from the UK, one for myself and one for my shooting buddy. Excellent presentation in a storage box and having done this before with my Navy 1851 .36 cal, am sure we will get excellent results. Many thanks for a first class service!
