i did quite like the remmy and i think it was stainless @ £150 second hand - does that seem like a good price?? it was in mint condition as far as i could tell (but i don't know exactly what to look for re: wear and tear or potential mistreatment... yet)
just out of curiosity - what do you use for a 'load' in the remington?
I use 21gn FFFg in my stainless Remmy. It gives a satisfying thump and good accuracy without excessive recoil. The Pietta manual however, says 12 - 15gn FFFg for the .44 and 9 - 12 gn FFFg for the .36 but most of the BP forums that I've been on seem to think that this is a quite light. What do you think Tac?
You can buy semi greased felt wads which takes all the bother of sourcing felt, buying wad cutters and ruining the dining room table curring wads.
