    You can use hand rolling cigarette papers as well. Dip them in a solution of saltpetre and let them dry.

    We found the perming papers don't need saltpetre on them as they burn a lot better than fag papers

    As with the fag papers, you have to work out how much to cut off to prevent the paper doubling over (laving just enough to glue)

    The copper grease worked a treat, shot 2 cards, 13 on each and the pin came out with very little fouling .
    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi , I'm new to this forum and was reading your fouling problem . I have both .44 and .36 and had the same trouble that your having . I found after using all the usual lubs that good old lard dose the trick and it's cheap . Before you start shooting smear bit on the pin and use it on top of each cylinder and it's not to stop a flash over as the only way that will happen is through a cap dropping off next to the cylinder that's being fired . It is soli to keep it from ceasing up. But you will need to withdraw the pin after every cylinder full fired and wipe it and re lard it with the .36 . You can do two or three cylinders full with the .44 I think the reason it fouls so quick with a .36 is the cylinder is a smaller diameter and the chambers are nearer to the pin. It is also design fault with remingtons . If they had put a recess into the frame and turned a minimal shoulder on the front of the chamber it wouldn't foul , if you look at an old remmi that's had plenty of use you see that the pin will have a line etched into it at the end of the cylinder where there is a slight gap. This is caused by powder burn . Hope I've been some help. Mozza69
