JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU TUBE CAN'T GET WORSE

I just watched a video on loading and shooting the 12" 1858 Remington. He loaded powder, ball, and lube using an off the gun loader just like I do BUT then he held the cylinder in his hand with his hand over the front end and placed the caps on the nipples before putting the cylinder back in the gun. I thought that was bad until the next step. He was using a butt stock and holding the Remington just like you normally would hold a rifle with his hand in front of the cylinder. He was wearing a glove which would protect him from the heat and flame BUT if he had a chain fire he would put a ball right through his hand. This guy is dangerous and I hope no one watching this duplicates what he has done.

Good way to get your shirt afire too.

I had a "underhammer" and while it was a simplistic and fantastic shooter it required great care of that nipple flash!

I've had a double fire and was being careful, lube and all. You should NOT take chances with BP. Lots of colorful stories of idiots shooting ramrods and such. Darwinism is swift with SCUBA, Sky Diving, and shooting BP arms.
