Caps

[loiner1965]

Just starting up with cap & ball and a second-hand Remmy .44 revolver. I've given the cylinders a good scrubbing out with Hoppe's and dried them out with several dry patches.

Would you experienced guys first fire off a cap on each unloaded cylinder, to burn off any residue, before loading up for real?

i never do and it only takes me 10 mins to clean tops afterwards.....will give you my pet loads with 777 with 147 balls if you want
