This guide details how to create and safely fire blank ammunition for cap and ball revolvers using a specialized kit. It covers loading gunpowder and floral foam wads, emphasizing safety precautions like preventing chain fires and proper muzzle discipline. The process is demonstrated on an 1860 Army revolver, with advice applicable to other calibers and models.

This video demonstrates two methods for lubricating black powder revolver chambers: traditional beeswax and tallow mixture versus modern pre-lubricated felt wads. The demonstration uses a Pietta Remington New Model Army in .44 caliber with 30 grains of Goex 3FG black powder and .454 round balls. The results show that while both methods improve accuracy and reduce fouling compared to no lube, the pre-lubricated felt wads provided superior accuracy and cleaner bore performance.
