Powder Substitutes

[700motherlover]

So I did a thing, I got the Uberti Single Action Black Powder Cattleman. I ordered the Muzzle-Loaders.com Black powder loading stand and the pin in the press is too large for the cylinder. This caused me to pause and question something critical.

I had ordered 1000 #10 CCI primers from Cabelas and realized my powder may not like it. I can all but discount using the Blackhorn 209, but will my Triple 7 work with these primers? Or am I fixing to get bullets and powder stuck in these chambers?

Also is the pin designed to be too little so a conversion cylinder can not be utilized? And if so is there a preferred stand for these Uberti 1873's?

I am curious what other pitfalls I may run into with this thing.

To answer part of your questions, yes the Triple 7 will work with # 10 caps.
I occasionally use Triple 7 in a few of my sidehammer guns with # 11 caps.

Tyvm for the prompt reply.

I think you bought the wrong loading stand. The newest version of it should do all the old revolvers, large and small pin cylinders, .36 & .44 caliber.

It looks to be the same manufacturer, it has the same specifications just without the Muzzle-Loaders.com logo.

I appreciate what Muzzle-Loaders.com does, but I feel like I am just getting Wish quality items.

I guess I will just mill down the pin, until I find the time to make a better tool.

Did you get a few different pins for the stand, the cylinder pins swap depending on the cylinder you're loading? Maybe they forgot to include them? A call to Muzzle-Loaders might get the missing parts.

No i did not get different pins for the stand, I just turned the pin down today, and got off about 24 rounds, one miss fire, learned to probe the nipples between cylinders.
