    If you're heading towards Fenland Rural Sports, it might be worth stopping off in Chatteris on the way...

    Jon Francis at CPG Design has a few BP pistols on his current list.... you'll need to call him before going as he works from his house, and isn't always there...

    If it's Pyrodex you are after, remember that it's P grade that you'll want. Else Triple 7 is good, and slightly more 'vigorous'

    For example -

    30gr of 3Fg black powder = 27gr of Pyrodex =25gr of Triple 7. More or less.

    No documentation is required to buy any of the subs.

    If you can find a Pedersoli, they're sublime. It's the revolver they set world records with. Foolishly traded mine a number of years ago...

    capandball did a an article on shooting the 1911-made version of the Remington NMA a while back. After he won the international BP revolver match with it, that is.

    It is a whole different ballgame to the run of the mill production version, and costs around £1000, if you can find one. No doubt Henry Krank's will find you one.

    Also consider the Hege and Feinwerkbau versions - both North of £1000 - IF you can find one.
