Ditto advice on caps These days #11 are the to-go size on a full-size revolver like the Remington. The best of all here in Europe are RWS, next Remington, and after that, no idea.

You don't mention what form of propellant you intend to use, so, assuming that you are using the Holy Black, note that in order to comply with the Italian H&S rules, the recommended loads in the instructions are WAAAAAAY lower than those commonly used by everybody else, me included.

The average load for a .44cal BP revolver, using 3Fg BP and a .451" diameter ball, is around 30gr or so.

The average load for a .44cal revolver using Pyrodex P [P stands for pistol, BTW] and .451" diameter ball, is 25gr or so.

Obviously, the idea is that you start low and work up to the 'sweet spot' where you get all the shots in about the same place with some degree of consistency.

Don't you have anybody in your club who shoots BP that you can cozy up to for advice?
